Event or Problem Description
It was reported that whilst connecting a t2 tibial nail to the t2 suprapatella nail adaptor, the surgeon noted that although the nail was correctly aligned with the adaptor, it still had some movement.He tightened the bolt as much as he could to no avail.He decided to remove the bolt and try again only to find that this was not possible.The bolt appeared to have cold welded into the nail.The surgeon had to switch to the infrapatella incision.He had already completed reaming through the suprapatella incision so the change was relatively simple.He reamed to the next nail diameter and inserted the nail using the t2 infrapatella nail adaptor.There was a delay of about 10 minutes in the procedure whilst the surgeon tried to separate the nail from the bolt.The patient was adversely affected, as an extra incision had to be made to accommodate the new entry point for the nail.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Once the investigation has been completed any additional information will be reported in a supplemental report.
