It was reported that on (b)(6) 2020, during a hammertoe correction on digits 2-5 the inserter for the hammertoe cci would not release.The first inserter was tried and when it did not work, the surgeon drilled again to make sure that it went all the way to the drill stop.When drilling did not work, the surgeon looked at it on the back table and eventually managed to release the implant from the inserter.The surgeon then opened another implant but the new implant did not release either.When the hammertoe cci did not work, a hammerlock 2 cci was tried.The surgeon attempted to use a medium hammerlock implant on the second digit and successfully inserted the cci in the proximal phalange.However, the surgeon could not get the intermediate and distal phalange up and on the distal end of the cci.A small hammerlock implant was tried, and still had the same results.The surgeon then put a k-wire in.A small hammerlock 2 cci was tried on the second digit but had the same results.The surgeon then put k-wires in the rest of the digits.The surgeon decided to use k-wires.The procedure was successfully completed with a thirty (30) minute surgical delay.Patient status is unknown.Concomitant device reported: drill (part number unknown, lot unknown, quantity 1), hammerlock 2 implant kit 12 x 5mm/ 0 degrees/ small (part number hl2s, lot unknown, quantity 2), bone staple: hammerlock 2 (part number unknown, lot unknown, quantity 2).This report involves one (1) hammerlock 2 implant kit 15x5mm/0 degrees/ medium.This is report 2 of 5 for (b)(4).
