Additional information: g3, h3, h6.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 due to improper bone preparation, misaligned insertion, and/or prying/levering the device during insertion.The dfu for this device, dfu-0087-eo revision 4, gives the following precautions: 4.Pushlock and swivelock suture anchors only: during anchor insertion, ensure that the angle of anchor insertion is coaxial to that of the previously prepared bone socket.5.Pushlock and swivelock suture anchors only: insert the driver into the bone socket until the anchor body makes contact with the bone.Preview and adjust suture tension, if necessary.Tension will not increase during final advancement of the anchor body.6.Pushlock and swivelock suture anchors only: ensure that the anchor body is in full contact with the bone before advancing the anchor body into the prepared bone socket.
