It was reported that a staple malfunctioned during a right first metatarsal modified mcbride bunion repair on (b)(6) 2017.The surgeon inserted the first staple and achieved the desired compression.After a second staple was inserted and compressed, x-rays were taken to confirm placement.Everything then distracted, a gap was present in between the joint.The surgeon then had to remove the second staple.Another smaller size was chosen for the next attempt.While drilling, the surgeon hit the first staple, so wasn¿t able to insert the smaller size second staple.Because of the loss of compression which required removal of the second staple, the original ¿mapped¿ location for the second staple was lost.A different location had to be chosen, and the surgeon was hitting the first staple upon drilling.A decision was made to abort the effort.Only one staple was left implanted.The surgeon used a 4.0 cannulated screw instead.The procedure was completed successfully with the patient in stable condition.This report is for one (1) speedtitan compression implant kit.This is report 1 of 1 for (b)(4).
