Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6.One unpackaged suture anchor corkscrew® (part no.Ar-1928sf-2-1), batch 15416218, was received for investigation.Visual inspection noted: blue sutures were knotted.The anchor exhibited gouging and shear marks.Functional testing was not performed due to the observed damage.The method used to prepare the bone and the bone quality encountered during the procedure were not provided.The most likely cause can be attributed to improper bone preparation, misaligned insertion, or prying/leveraging the device during use.The marks on the threads could be consistent with pullout.Complaint allegation is confirmed.Refer to the investigation photos for details.
