Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported during an initial rotator cuff reconstruction, after puncturing the bone, the anchor was inserted into the tissue and then gently tapped on the anchor inserter.Then the operator started screwing the anchor, but the anchor did not screwed in that is why the operator pulled out the inserter few times and the anchor was broke.All components were removed from the patient.Another anchor with the same lot was used without further complications.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.
