B Design Labeling Poor Implantation Incompatible with tools Break in Packaging Incorrect Sizing Poor Implantation Placement of plate in Ionic Circuit Allowance of poor screw-plate size combination Ambiguous storage Ambiguous labeling Ambiguous screw-plate size combination Inadequate labeling Tear in Plastic Melting of Adhesive
C Displacement of screw in torsion Subsidence displacing screw
D Failure of Screw-to- Bone Union Insufficient rotational screw movement allowance Excessive screw rotation permitted Failure of static screw to lock to plate
E Shearing of screw neck in subsidence Shearing of screw neck in torsion
F Too small of a diameter Too large of a diameter Plate surface interferes with static screw locking Plate surface interferes with static screw locking
G Buckling in torsion Buckling in axial loading
H Sub-failure stress deformation of plate
