On 04-dec-2025, a sales representative reported via phone that the button of an ar-2658tr knotless distal clavicle plate button tightrope broke off during insertion.All fragments were retrieved, and the procedure was completed using a replacement ar-2658tr from a different lot.The incident occurred during a clavicle orif procedure on (b)(6) 2025 and resulted in an approximate 15-minute delay.The patient¿s bone quality was reported as good, and a 3.7 mm guide button pin was used for bone preparation prior to implant insertion.No patient harm was reported.
