It was reported that on (b)(6) 2020, during removal of proximal femoral nailing system (tfna) long nail and the titanium helical blade, the surgeon removed one (1) distal interlock 5.0mm locking screw and put extraction instrument on the helical blade they then connected the extraction bolt to the proximal instrumented end of the tfna removed the helical blade.They extracted the broken proximal end then proceeded to attempt to remove the distal broken portion of the tfna nail with an extraction hook with no success for 2-3 hours.Then moved to the distal femur to make an opening hole distal to the nail so they can drive out the nail from the distal (retrograde) end.They proceeded in driving the nail until the instrumented proximal portion of the nail was exposed outside of the soft tissue.They put the extraction hook back into the nail and pulled it completely out.It is unknown there was a surgical delay.The procedure was successfully completed.The patient outcome was good.This (b)(4) captures the intraoperative event that during removal there was an additional intervention that was required to remove nail while, this (b)(4) captures the ops-operative event that the broken proximal femoral nailing system (tfna) long nail and the titanium helical blade were removed due to delayed healing and non-union.This complaint involves two (2) devices.This report is for one (1) 11mm/130 deg ti cann tfna 380mm/left - sterile.This report is 1 of 2 for (b)(4).
