Method: visual analysis, device history review, complaint history review, risk assessment; result: manufacturing records were reviewed for the corresponding lot and no relevant issues were identified.The visual inspection of the driver showed that the tip of the screwdriver was deformed.The tip was bent at the shaft below the threaded section.Conclusion: the probable root cause is that the surgeon applied a excessive torsional force at a slight incline that caused the screwdriver tip to deform.
