Event or Problem Description
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2025, the patient underwent intramedullary nailing surgery with the drill bit.When pre-drilling the distal part of an intramedullary nail, the drill bit, which had been opened and sterile, interfered with the nail, causing the protrusion at the tip of the drill to break.Although the fragment of the drill bit remained in the body, but it could not be removed, and the amount was so small that it is unlikely to cause any health damage.The surgery was completed successfully with no delay.No further information is available.
