It was reported that the tip of an inserter fractured during open reduction and internal fixation surgery.Since the preserved tip was only a few millimeters thick, the surgery was completed while it remained intact.Following completion of the procedure, postoperative radiographs were reviewed; the fragment was not visualized, and the reporter indicated it was likely retained within the patient.The patient has experienced no known impacts or consequences as a result of this event.It was reported that no further information is available.
