Warnings and Precautions:
An implant must never be reused. Previous stresses may have created imperfections that can potentially lead to device failure.
Instrumentation must be inspected for wear or damage prior to usage. Protect implants against scratching or nicking. Such stress
concentration can lead to failure.
Adverse Effects:
Potential for these devices failing as a result of loose fixation and/or loosening, caused by:
• Mechanical Stress
• Excessive activity
• Load bearing particularly when the implants experience increased loads due to a delayed union, nonunion, or
incomplete healing
