The 13 most recent of 13 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
InjuryJun 12, 2026Material Fragmentation
It was reported that after drill hole was prepared using a 2.3mm drill and the anchor was impacted into the bone, the inserter shaft was removed and found the tip was missing. The missing tip was about 1mm and could not be found on table. It was believed that the tip was left in the anchor, which was inside the patient's glenoid intrabony. The doctor thought that the metal piece was fixed inside bone and decided to continue the surgery without removing it.
