Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Additional information: g3, h3, h6.The complaint allegation is confirmed.Photographic evidence provided from the field of an ar-2324psp, with batch number 15327157, revealed that the distal end was damaged.Therefore, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.The most likely cause can be attributed to improper bone preparation; misaligned insertion; or prying/leveraging the device during use.
