Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the patient had a prophylactic proximal femur fracture, with incredibly dense, hard bone as a result of the tumor.Upon reaming the canal with the ria 2 kit, the plastic end of the reaming tub became twisted and warped due to the intense pressure needed to ream.Because of this, we were not able to fully pass the reamer past the isthmus.The monobloc reamers were successfully used to complete the case.Additionally, the stepped ream f/tfna helical blade+scr f/ drill bit chipped at the end during drilling of the dense bone, but this did not affect the successful completion of the procedure.There was no reported patient or user harm, and no significant delay occurred.
