IT WAS REPORTED THAT, DURING A ROTATOR CUFF REPAIR PROCEDURE, AFTER PLACING THE ANCHOR, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE THREADED CANNULA HAD A 0.3*0.1 CM DEFECT ON THE INNER SURFACE. A SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON THE OPERATING TABLE AND INCISION DRAPES, BUT THE MISSING PIECE WAS NOT FOUND, THE SURGEON ADDITIONALLY INFORMED THAT THE DEFECT WAS TOO SMALL TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE CAVITY, THEREFORE, IT WAS CONTINUOUSLY RINSED WITH SALINE. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A NON-SIGNIFICANT SURGICAL DELAY. NO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS WERE REPORTED.
