Event or Problem Description
It was reported that dr.(b)(6) was performing a posterior spinal fusion (scoliosis fusion) on a (b)(6) y.Old male patient.While doing final tightening the x25 torque drive shafts stripped at the distal end of the shaft.This is probably due to normal wear and tear, both shafts present in the set need to be replaced.As well, while dr.(b)(6) was correcting the lordosis of the spinal curve through the rod, one of the attachment 10 degree angle prong broke off where it attaches to the l bender.(this device is a custom device and i am not certain if it is registered with depuy synthes, however it is made by depuy synthes).This occurred on the left bender (698335318) and the attachment piece is (698335326).Nothing fell into the patient.The surgeon was able to complete the surgery without delay and without complications.I have nothing further to add to this complaint.The broken shafts will be sent via purolator (tracking: (b)(4).The l bender and the attachment are currently not available for return.
