Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is confirmed.Due to photographic evidence provided from the field of an ar-9580-2410-2s, with batch number 1356662235, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause of the reported failure is wear and tear.Due to continuous mechanical forces applied to it, the device will inevitably sustain damage over time.
