The radius rod was examined visually.It appears to be bent in the location of the fracture in the radius.Two nicks on the rod were observed under magnification to determine their cause.The defects in the rod appear to have curved lines indicating the nicks were caused by something that was rotating, like a drill.The larger nick has some other marks on it that seems to be due to another factor.Additional mdrs associated with this event: 3025141-2018-00232: ulna rod follow up 1; 3025141-2018-00251: screw.
