Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event that lag screw, ti gamma3® ø10.5x105mm was alleged of issue (implant revision / removal without implant breakage) could not be confirmed, since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidences were provided.The device inspection was not possible as the product was not returned for investigation.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.More detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.However, based on the complaint history and the risk management file, possible cause for such failure is handling failure (e.G.Implant was damaged when implanted; inadequate reposition, wrong nail geometry chosen, position of implant is incorrect, mislocking, misdrilling).Revision surgery due to cut out is a typical complication of proximal femoral nailing.This harm does not primly depend on the implant.It is mostly caused by the kind of fracture, patient's general condition (osteoporosis), and primly the respective surgical technique (correct positioning of the lag screw in the center of the femoral head).If device is returned or any further information is provided, the investigation report will be reassessed.
