Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a micro compression screw, ar-8725-20hs, was being used in a procedure on the patient's middle finger.When the screw was placed, the tip of the screw broke within the bone hole and a fracture of the middle phalanx occurred around the damaged part.Although it was not confirmed whether the arthrodesis worked properly, the surgeon decided that it was difficult to remove the screw, and completed the operation with the screw left in the bone together with the broken pieces.
