Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Complaint confirmed.Visual evaluation of the returned ar-9145-36 revealed that the device had sheared off at the second, proximal thread prior to receipt for investigation.The most likely cause of this event is not implanting the screw coaxial to the hole, or bending/prying/leveraging the screw during insertion.
