Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the screw broke in the distal end of the slot in the wrist spanning plate.It sheared off right at the bone surface with about one thread left under the head of the screw.The surgeon mentioned it was dense bone and he left the broken screw in the bone and mentioned that he would remove it using a trephine when he removes the wsp.He mentioned that he wasn't too concerned about the removal because the bone quality was very good and the patient is young.He was able to insert a second nl screw into the proximal portion of the same slot, so the breakage didn't affect his fixation.
