Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Complaint allegation is confirmed.Visual inspection identified the 2.9 mm p-lck returned of the suture anchor, biocomposite pushlock® 2.9 x 15.5 mm had broken off, and only pieces of it were returned.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 specified.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to improper bone preparation, misalignment insertion, and/or prying/leveraging of the device during insertion.
