Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during a hip arthroscopy for labral repair, the surgeon tried to unscrew one (1) bioraptor knotless suture anchor, but it stayed on the handle, and then fall down from the handle, outside of the drilled bone hole.A second bioraptor knotless suture anchor from the same lot number was used in an additional bone hole, and it presented the same problem.Thus, the surgeon resorted to using a arthrex 2.4 mm mini hip pushlock product.There was a delay less than or equal to 30 minutes.No further complications were reported.
