• InjuryMar 16, 2018Break; Break

  WHEN THE LAST SCREW WAS PUT IN PLACE, AN IMAGE WAS TAKEN AND THE SURGEON WAS NOT FULLY SATISFIED WITH THE POSITION OF THAT SCREW. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE AND REPOSITION THE SCREW, THE HEAD OF THE SCREW BROKE. THE SURGEON DID NOT OVER-ANGLE THE SCREWDRIVER AND THERE WERE NO INCORRECT PROCEDURAL STEPS IN THE OPERATION. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND WELL DONE. THERE WAS NO DANGER FOR THE PATIENT AND THE REST OF THE SCREW HAD GOOD FIXATION, SO THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE SCREW WAS LEFT IN PLACE. THE INVOLVED SCREW WAS NOT IMPLANTED WITH THE TORQUE LIMITER.
