Additional information: g3, h3, h6.Complaint allegation is confirmed by the attached x-rays pictures, which shows a subluxation.Based on the information provided, which may include the device (if available and returned), pictures, videos, event description, and any additional information from the field, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause of the reported failure can be attributed to a patient-specific event, resulting from a subluxation, which subsequently led to adverse outcomes necessitating revision surgery.
