Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Section h10: (h3) the broken talar impactor cover reported was likely the result of additional stresses on the retaining tab during impaction due to minimal joint space in a mobile bearing, which led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate fracture of the device.
