Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the broach had been introduced into the femoral canal, and an osteotomy of the femur was required at a level below the tip of the broach, however, since the broach was inside the femur, its tip could not be seen from the outside, and when the surgeon used the saw, he ended up scoring the edge of the broach's tip.No patient or user harm and no significant delay were reported.
