    WITHOUT THE PLATE AND SCREWS RETURNED, IT CANNOT BE DETERMINED IF ANY HARDWARE NON-CONFORMANCES LED TO THIS EVENT. BASED ON THE X-RAYS, THE ANGULATION OF THE SCREW COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE BACKOUT, BUT IT CANNOT BE DETERMINED IF THIS OCCURRED DURING INSERTION, OR AFTER SOME SETTLING/ANATOMICAL CONSTRUCT MOTION. THE DESIGN RISK ASSESSMENT WAS REVIEWED AND WAS FOUND TO BE ADEQUATE FOR THE INTENDED USE.
