The complaint allegation is confirmed based on the customer-provided photo.Based on the information provided which may include the device (if available and returned), pictures, videos, event description, and any additional information from the field, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to applying excessive mechanical forces upon insertion and/or prying/leveraging the device.
