Bolt breakage on the head or threaded portion, which may cause loss of strut continuity with frame. This may cause loss of deformity correction and/or disruption of bone regeneration.
Manufacturing variance near transition of tip is increasing the likelihood the wire tip may fracture. The fractured tip may be retained in the patient. Retrieval attempts may be made which could result in a delay of surgery and potentially damage soft tissue and increase healing time
Product may have incorrect laser etched alignment lines, the non-conforming laser etch may have compromised strength, lead to unintended fracture of the device
