Event or Problem Description
It was reported during a mis degenerative case, where a conduit tlif cage was inserted and issue occurred with the inserter.Upon loosening the insertion instrument to pivot the cage in the disc space (as intended and in accordance to the stg) the tip of the inner shaft broke off.This tip remained in the cage (inserted in the disc space).The surgeon tried to retrieve the broken tip, but as it was stuck in the cage, and could not move, the surgeon decided to leave the part in the cage.In order to make sure the part would not move, the cage opening was sealed with bone wax.Additional bone was inserted on the cage.This will lock the part in the cage.Removal of the cage was not possible due to the part blocking a second inserter to be attached to the implant.No consequence for the patient.No surgical delay.
