The complaint allegation is confirmed.Based on the images supplied from the field, it is evident that the device has striation marks inside the device.Consequently, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user-applied excessive force while over-torquing/over-engaging the device during use.
