Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is approved based on photographic and video evidence submitted for evaluation.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 for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to excessive force used during suture passing/tightening /tensioning.
