The complaint allegation is confirmed based on the photo provided by the customer.Visual evaluation revealed the tip of the drill is missing from the drill shaft.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 prying/leveraging the device during use.
