Complaint allegation is not confirmed.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 of the device due to misalignment insertion, incorrect assembly, and improper alignment of the device during insertion.Damage to the reamer can cause jamming when used with the mating part.
