Event Description

It was reported that upon placing the screw into the cup with the screwdriver, the screw is seated, but the screwdriver was locked into the hex top of the screw.After trying to slap it out, 1/2 of the hex bit snapped and was left in the screw.This hindered the flat surface of the cup, which would hinder liner impaction.The doctor tried to remove the bit of screw with osteotome, vice grip, needle driver, rongeour and kocher.It was tried for 15 minutes to remove this.Eventually a metal cutting bur was used to bur the surface so it could suitably seat the liner.The liner was impacted after 20 minutes of dealing with this broken screw, and checked stability.It was 100%.There was a surgical delay of 20mins.
