Event or Problem Description
On 06/26/2024, it was reported by a sales representative via email that two ar-1926bcsp biocomposite pushlocks and an ar-2325pslc peek swivelock had issues.The first ar-1926bcsp biocomposite pushlock eyelet bent and broke off the inserter when it was being malleted down.The second ar-1926bcsp biocomposite pushlock was malleted down, but it was difficult to breach the cortical surface of the bone.Once it reached the cortical bone, the anchor body split in half around the self-punching eyelet.The ar-2325pslc peek swivelock was used to fill the bone socket the ar-1926bcsp biocomposite pushlock created.However, the anchor pulled out of the bone.A 4.75 mm swivelock was used to complete the repair.This was discovered during a cuffmend procedure.Additional information received on 7/2/2024: the surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2024.All broken fragments were removed.The case was completed using an ar-2324psp peek swivelock.
