THE SHORELINE SCREWS WERE USED IN COMBINATION WITH FIVE (5) ADMIRAL 4.0MM SCREWS IN A 3-LEVEL ADMIRAL PLATE CONSTRUCT. ACCORDING TO THE DISTRIBUTOR PRESENT IN THE OPERATING ROOM, THE SHORELINE SCREWS WERE PLACED PROXIMALLY, APPEARED FULLY SEATED, AND ALL LOCKING COVERS WERE VISIBLY ENGAGED. THE SURGEON ELECTED TO RETAIN THE CONSTRUCT AFTER CONFIRMING INTRAOPERATIVE STABILITY AND EXPRESSED CONFIDENCE IN THE FIXATION. NO ADVERSE PATIENT OUTCOME HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DATE. THIS EVENT INVOLVED THE OFF-LABEL USE OF SHORELINE SCREWS IN AN ADMIRAL PLATE SYSTEM, A COMBINATION THAT HAS NOT BEEN VALIDATED OR TESTED FOR CROSS-COMPATIBILITY. THE DISCREPANCY WAS IDENTIFIED POSTOPERATIVELY DURING A FOLLOW-UP DISCUSSION WITH THE DISTRIBUTOR AND TERRITORY MANAGER. NO PATIENT INJURY, EXPLANTATION, OR ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION WAS REQUIRED. AT THE TIME OF INITIAL COMPLAINT REVIEW, THE EVENT WAS DEEMED NON-REPORTABLE DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF HARM AND THE MECHANICAL INTEGRITY OF THE CONSTRUCT. HOW
