Event or Problem Description

It was reported that on (b)(6) 2021, while performing a distal humerus, the surgeon had to re-adjust locking screws multiple times on a variable angle-locking compression plate (va-lcp) posterolateral distal humerus plate while trying to achieve reduction of the small fragments.Ultimately one or two of the 2.7 variable angle (va) locking screws did not engage in a plate.Surgeon decided to leave these holes empty.He determined that he had likely damaged the holes re-inserting the screws multiple times.Also while reducing, an adjustment nut fell off of the reduction forceps.The procedure was completed successfully with a surgical delay of ten (10) minutes.There was no patient consequence.This report is for one (1) 2.7mm/3.5mm va-lcp postlat dhp-lat supt 3h/lt/75mm-short.This is report 1 of 3 for complaint (b)(4).
