Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the patient underwent an open reduction internal fixation (orif) left distal humerus fracture on (b)(6) 2018.During the procedure, the measurement of the depth gauge for screws was 5mm which was too short.A second set was opened for another depth gauge and the surgeon expressed the same problem with the second one.It was also reported that the three (3) variable angle (va) locking screws were wasted.All three screws were remeasured to confirm length.The va locking screw would not lock into the most distal-lateral hole of the plate.The surgeon tried to remove it but the screw just spun in the locking hole without retracting out.The surgeon continued to implant the plate because the reduction and the rest of the fixation were good.The screw was also remained implanted because it would not get out without taking the plate off.There were 5-10 minutes of surgical delay.The patient outcome was stable.Concomitant devices reported: unknown variable angle locking screws (part # unknown, lot # unknown, quantity 3) this is report 2 of 2 for (b)(4).
