The complaint allegation is confirmed based on the customer-provided picture.Visual evaluation of the customer provided photo noted the tip of an ar-1530bc biocomposite-tenodesis screw driver had broken off and was missing.It was further noted that the screw was no longer assembled and not pictured.Refer to attachments.Based on the information provided, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to improper bone prep; misaligned insertion and/or prying/leveraging the device during insertion.
