Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Section h10: (h3) the broken retroversion handle reported was likely the result of impacting the strike surface of the broach handle with the threads of the retroversion handle partially engaged, allowing for the applied force to be transmitted to the threaded tip of the device, leading to ultimate failure.
