It was reported that a surgeon was doing a remplissage using 3.9 knotless corkscrews (ar-1941psv, lot 10747047).Surgeon used a disposable kit (ar-1941ds, lot 11238107), with guide and punch and followed proper technique for insertion.As surgeon began twisting the anchor in, she heard a sound and then saw the anchor was cracked.The anchor was almost fully inserted but sitting a bit proud.Surgeon tried to remove the cracked anchor body but had a hard time so she ended up removing and cutting out the sutures and the anchor body remained in the patient but did not cause harm.The case was completed by using 2 new anchors with the same lot number.
