Complaint confirmed.Upon visual inspection, it was noted that the sutures attached to the suture eyelet had been removed from the shaft and the device was reassembled to the driver with the sutures outside of the shaft.It was also noted that the screw was broken.The cause of this remains undetermined, however, probable cause can be attributed to prying/leveraging forces being used.
