Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

• MalfunctionJun 8, 2026Break

  IT WAS REPORTED DURING AN UNKNOWN PROCEDURE, THE SPEEDTRAP FAILED. AFTER THE GRAFT WAS PULLED INTO THE JOINT AND FIXED FEMORALLY, THE DOCTORS WANTED TO KNOT THE SUTURES OF THE TIBIAL END OF THE GRAFT, WHICH WERE MOUNTED BY A SPEEDTRAP DEVICE, TO THE TIBIA THROUGH A SUTURE WASHER. THAT'S WHEN THEY NOTICED THAT 1 THREAD OF THE SPEEDTRAP HAD BROKEN. THEY HAD TO MAKE A SMALL INCISION ON THE THIGH TO REMOVE THE RIGIDLOOP ADJUSTABLE PLATE AND THEN TAKE THE GRAFT OUT THROUGH THE JOINT. THEN THEY RESEWED EVERYTHING WITH A NEW RLA AND SPEEDTRAP DEVICE AND FIXED EVERYTHING ANEW. ANOTHER DEVICE WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE. THERE WAS A 20 MINUTE SURGICAL DELAY IN THE PROCEDURE REPORTED. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE PATIENT CONSEQUENCES REPORTED. ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION HAS BEEN DISCLOSED.
