-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.Per dfu-0087-eo - g.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.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to improper surgical technique, misalignment insertion, and/or prying/leveraging of the device during insertion.
