  • Cause
    The affected part number and lot numbers are out of specification at the thread. this is related to a non-conformance where the thread height of these screws is under-sized. it was also identified that the cross section of the affected area is less than that of conforming screws such that the thread height of the screws is under-sized.The decreased thread height may alter the self-drilling feature and result in difficulty inserting the screw. if the surgeon finds that the screw is not inserting as anticipated, the surgeon may choose to use a different screw or drill a pilot hole to insert the screw. attempting to insert additional screws or possibly drill with another instrument could result in a surgical delay. should the user be able to insert the screw the decreased thread height may significantly reduce the retention ability of the screw in the bone. these issues may require medical or surgical intervention to secure components or stabilise the structure or bone.
