    A PRODUCT INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED FOR THIS DEVICE. THE ACTUAL DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR EVALUATION. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE NON-UNION IS UNDETERMINED. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT A NON-UNION OR FAILURE TO HEAL. THE RADIOGRAPHIC AND CLINICAL DATA WERE REVIEWED BY A SIGN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON. THIS FAILURE DOES NOT INDICATE A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. A MINIMAL RISK IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FAILURE. SIGN FRACTURE CARE INTERNATIONAL CONTINUES TO MONITOR THESE EVENTS AS PART OF OUR POST MARKET SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES.

    WE BECAME AWARE ON 9/05/2024 THAT A SIGN IM NAIL IMPLANTED TO REPAIR A FRACTURE WAS REPLACED DUE TO A NON-UNION. THE IM NAIL WAS REPLACED WITH A 9MM X 340MM STANDARD IM NAIL PER THE SIGN TECHNIQUE MANUAL. SURGEON COMMENT: "WE REMOVED THE NAIL AND DID A RETROCALCANEAL APPROACH. ADDED BONE GRAFT. WITH THE HELP OF PLASTIC SURGEON, WE COVERED WITHFLAP."
