The complaint cannot be confirmed due to the device being unable to be visually and functionally evaluated.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 of the reported and observed failure is a user error following the device's correct surgical technique.
