Additional information: g3, h3, h6 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 over-torquing/over-engaging the inserter within the screw during use.
