  • Causa
    It has been identified that the stainless steel used in claw and claw ii plates from the affected lots did not meet the manufacturing requirements, resulting in reduced strength and increased risk of warping under stress. if this occurs, the device could fail., if this problem occurred during surgery, it would be corrected immediately. however, surgery time would be increased., if an affected device has been implanted and did not fail during surgery, there is a remote possibility that it could fail before fusion of the bones occurs. if this happens, revision surgery will be required.
