The i.B.S compression and neutralization osteosynthesis screws are intended for: the fixation of arthrodesis, osteotomies or fractures of long or short bones of the upper and lower limbs; osteosynthesis requiring a mono or bicortical compression.The implantation of 4.5mm diameter screws is to be prepared thanks to a g01 00091 drill (associated to a 1.6mm k-wire).Event description: during an osteosynthesis / reconstruction surgery, it was reported that when the surgeon tried to prepare the screw pathway, the drill twisted.The surgeon had to make strength to remove the instrument.The surgery ended successfully without any consequences for the patient.This event is reportable since if it were to happen again, it could cause a serious injury to the patient.Additional information: the return of the involved instruments at in2bones has been requested for further analysis, but have not yet been done (in2bones internal and distributor organization difficulties during the covid-19 crisis).However, a picture of the damaged instruments has been received: a k-wire appears to be stuck inside the drill, and both instruments are twisted near their distal extremity.
