Event or Problem Description
It was reported two (2) screws fractured during the fixation of a four (4) hole plate.The shafts of the screws remain embedded in the patient¿s bone and could not be removed.The screw hole was left empty and could not be used due to the shaft embedded in the bone and this resulted in suboptimal fixation of the plate.There was a delay of a few minutes while the surgeon and sales rep deliberated over the best course forward.It was reported that no further information is available.
