Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product analysis: visual and microscopic examination identified that part of the tip of the inserter is sheared off and missing.This damage is consistent with overload through non-parallel pressure put on the handle.This is consistent with bend stress overload.: image review: intra-operative images from l4-s1 fusion provided.At l5-s1 there is a metallic fragment next the interbody graft which by report is the tip of the inserter.This fracture usually happened under conditions of excessive mallet or oblique torsional force applied to the inserter when placing the graft.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
