It was reported that on (b)(6) 2021, there was a tibial shaft non-union of the ria 2 on femur during a bone grafting.The reaming rod was placed into one of the condyles of the distal femur, while reaming over there was a slight bent.The reamer head broke off onto the reaming rod and the times that hold the reamer head to the tube assembly were broken off into the patient.Reaming rod was then pulled out and the tube assembly was not damaged.We were able to add a new reaming head and continue reaming.The surgeon said he does ria 1 over bend all the time so he was surprised when it broke off.Also told me that he was going slow and was not forcing it over the slight curve in the reaming rod.Tiny pieces of ria 2 head left inside the patient.Concomitant device reported: unk - reaming rods: (part# unknown; lot# unknown; quantity: tibial shaft unknown).Unk - reamers (part# unknown; lot# unknown; quantity: unknown).This report is for one (1) 15.0mm reamer head for ria 2 sterile.This is report 1 of 1 for complaint (b)(4).
