Manufacturer Narrative

Section h10: (h3) the evaluation noted that based upon on review of the available information, there is no evidence that this is a device related problem and there is no allegation against the device.The most likely cause of the reported event was a fracture which was likely caused by the femoral canal not being broached deep enough or perhaps there was something unique/unexpected with the patient¿s femoral anatomy/bone quality.
