Note: blank fields on this form indicate information that is unknown, unavailable or unchanged. Device used for treatment and not diagnosis. Our investigation has shown that both screws are indeed broken off. We do suppose, as it was also mentioned dense bone, that the applied mechanical force, beyond its calculated design, has been resulted in the breakage of the tips. The microscopic views of the broken surfaces due not show any anomalies. Note that both screws were analyzed for conformance to print specification, as well as the device history records were researched. No abnormal findings were identified. Placeholder.
