Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Product analysis: visual and macroscopic confirmed one of the ends of the crescent implant has broken off.The fracture surface appears to be rigid with visual stress lines throughout the surface.This type of damage is consistent with the material overload of the implant due to excessive force applied during implant impaction.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
