Additional information: g3, h3, h6.Complaint allegation is confirmed by the attached picture, which shows the tip with some remaining tissues.No device breakage, deformation was observed.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 of the reported issue is attributed to user error, as excessive tissue accumulation on the tip of the device during use resulted in the device becoming stuck and did not improve cutting performance.
