Event or Problem Description

It was reported that an 11 x 320mm right 130 degree tfna nail was having an issue engaging the locking mechanism in order to lock the fenestrated screw.When taking out the nail and testing it, the connecting screw spun, but when in the patient the mechanism was having issues.Both the flexible screwdriver and straight driver seemed to not engage properly and at the end we were able to lock down the screw after much trial and error.It was extremely difficult to lock the screw down and appeared to not work per usual.The surgery was completed successfully, but took much longer due to the issue, around 2.5-3 hours.
