Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The returned cage was evaluated.Visual inspection found that part of the anterior portion of the device has fractured off.A review of the dhr did not find any issues which would have contributed to this event.As the damage occurred during insertion of the anchoring plate, it is possible that the cage was misaligned within the disc space such that during impaction of the anchoring plate, an unexpected off-axis force was placed on the cage resulting in it's fracture; however, the initial positioning of the cage is unknown.As such, a cause cannot be conclusively determined.
