After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the broken device reported was likely the result of the reamer unexpectedly catching on unprepared bone and subsequent rapid application of a counterforce to the instrument greater than yield strength of the material, which led to crack initiation, propagation, and ultimate failure.The most probable root cause associated with the event of ¿broken / non-functional¿ is cause traced to component failure.
