The last hole on certain VEPTR Inferior Cradles may be partially formed. Fully lengthening the construct to the partially formed last hole may result in mechanical failure of the construct due to rib sleeve breakage, and may require surgury to exchange components. Effects may also include pain, loss of deformity correction, and/or soft tissue/visceral injury.
