41 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 40 of the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (95%) and injury (5%); across all plate, bone reports (product code JEY) death is recorded in 0.2% and malfunction in 48.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.

The patient problems coded most often are device embedded in tissue or plaque and foreign body in patient. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
