Section h10: (h3) the jammed devices reported in case-2021-00003530 likely the result of deformation on the inner surface of the drill guide and outer surface of the drill bit, which led to galling and eventually prevented the drill bit from passing through.The broken drill bit was likely the result of applying a bending moment while drilling, which led to ultimate fracture of the device.
