It was reported that the surgeon was implanting an antegrade femoral nail.Once the nail was placed, two proximal screws were placed in the nail.As the surgeon drilled for the distal locking screw the drill bit went in at a slight angle, at that time the drill bit torqued against the nail and the tip of the drill broke off.Not wanting to cause anymore trauma to the patient, the surgeon left the tip of the drill bit and proceeded to lock the other distal holes.
