FDA's MAUDE database holds 192 reports that name the brand "Unknown_Fro_Product" (implant), received between May 2013 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Stryker Leibinger Freiburg. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.

7 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 133% from 3 in 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 injury (63.5%) and malfunction (36.5%); 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 device problems coded most often are break (23.4%), fracture (7.8%) and insufficient device problem information (7.3%). The patient problems coded most often are device embedded in tissue or plaque, pain and bone fracture(s). 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."
