After the surgeon burred out part of the posterior tibia and proceeded to pull the end effector out to burr another portion of the tibia, we saw that the burr came out of the end effector.After taking apart the whole construct and changing out the burr, we realized that the top magnetic clamp of the end effector did not engage correctly, causing the burr to become loose.The end effector was changed out and no damage was done to the patient.Pka case delayed =15 minutes.
