Additional information: g3, h3, h6 complaint allegation is confirmed.Visual inspection identified that the soft anchor returned was damaged and the suture was broken on the sp 2.6 mm knotless fibertak anchor.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 of the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to improper bone preparation, misalignment insertion, prying/leveraging of the device during insertion and/or excessive force used during suture passing/tightening /tensioning.
