Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The returned implant was examined.The device was disassembled.Further testing did not reveal any deformation to cause the disassembly.Retention feature failures of this nature have previously been attributed to clinicians overturning the impaction knob, loosening the implant from the peek cartridge.These failures have also previously been attributed to increased forces experienced by the implant from surrounding tissues due to clinicians performing lateral/rotational movement while inserting into the disk space, incorrect sizing of the implant, inadequate distraction, and/or inadequate preparation of the of the disc space.However, since the cartridge screw was not returned, and without intra-op images, the exact cause cannot be conclusively determined.
