Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2021, it was reported by a sales representative via phone that an ar-8978-cp internal brace ligament augmentation repair implant system anchor pulled out.This was discovered during a cnc internal brace on (b)(6) 2021.Once the surgeon inserted the first anchor into the patient, the screw became stuck to the inserter.The surgeon then used a hammer to tap the inserter to remove it but instead the screw pulled out.The bone hole was then too large to use another ar-8978-cp, so the surgeon then created a new bone hole, distal to the previous hole and used a ar-8919ds to complete the case.
