6.0 diameter and 110mm mis rod was inserted using a rod inserter into mis tulip heads to complete mis construct.End user applied pressure to set and final position the rod, causing the proximal tip that was held inside the rod inserter seperate from the distal rod shaft.The subject rod function as a bridge that passes through the skin and sits into multiple spacially aligned bone-anchored screw housings.Excessive pressure for rod insertion into a housing by an end-user tentatively points to a questionable placement of screws, degree of patient anatomy, and/or user technique.No images, parts, patient anatomy, or detailed user steps were provided.No harm or injury to the patient is reported but a minor 5 minute delay.Without additional evidence(s), this claim is indeterminate.
