Complaint allegation is confirmed.Visual inspection identified that the implant 4.5mm bio-corkscrew of the 4.5 mm biocomposite-corkscrew® ft suture anchor with one #2 fiberwire® and one tigerwire® had broken off.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The method of bone preparation and the quality of the bone encountered were not provided.Per dfu-0087-13 rev 0, section g- precautions: 3.Make sure to use the recommended drill bit or punch to create the bone socket.The most likely cause can be attributed to improper bone preparation or prying/leveraging the screw during insertion.
