Event Description

It was reported that, after an internal fixation surgery had been performed on (b)(6) 2023, the patient experienced proximal portion breakage of the nail.This adverse event was addressed by revision surgery on (b)(6) 2024, in which the entire nail was removed.Surgeon then went to remove the compression screw, which then realized the tip was broken off.He was able to remove the compression screw by sliding an osteotome inferior to the compression screw to create some space, and then he slid that same osteotome in between the lag and compression screw to separate them.He removed the lag screw and pulled the remaining compression screw out with a bulldog.He then used a stryker nail extractor to get the rest of the nail out.Patient's current health status is unknown.
