    Description

    Synthes Titanium Minimally Invasive Reduction Screw System Locking Cap, Part Number 04.631.502 Non-cervical spinal fixation devices intended for posterior pedicle screw fixation, posterior hook fixation, or anterolateral fixation.

    Reason

    This action is being initiated following a detailed investigation in response to reported complaints of post-operative locking cap loosening. Synthes has concluded that if the construct is mis-aligned during final tightening, the potential exists for locking caps to loosen post-operatively in certain situations.
