Event or Problem Description

It was reported that when the labral scorpion was used for the first time the top jaw broke off inside the patient into two pieces during firing and separated it from the rest of the handle.The broken pieces were retrieved from patient.This occurred during a shoulder arthroscopy, anterior stabilization and biceps tenodesis surgery.There was no harm for patient, operator or third party.The surgery was finished successfully with a shoulder lasso used for suture passing, which required a change in the surgical technique.It was not necessary to do a second surgery.
