    THE PEDICLE SCREW CAME OFF FROM THE VERTEBRAL BODY WHEN THE ROD WAS INSERTED INTO THE SCREW TABS. NO NEW SCREWS WERE INSERTED INTO THE VERTEBRAL BODY AT THIS LEVEL, AND FIXATION WAS PERFORMED ONLY WITH SCREWS AND RODS PLACED AT ANOTHER LEVEL. AFTER INSERTING THE ROD, THE FINAL FASTENING WAS PERFORMED WITH THE SET SCREW. WHEN AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO REMOVE THE ROD FROM THE INSERTER, THE LOCKING MECHANISM (HANDLE FOR GRIPPING THE ROD) OF THE INSTRUMENT WAS STUCK AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. IT WAS FORCEFULLY UNLOCKED WITH PLIERS. ANOTHER ROD WAS THEN USED AND FASTENED WITH THE SET SCREW, WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THE ROD FROM THE INSERTER THE ROD COULD NOT BE REMOVED AND THE GRIPPING MECHANISM OF THE INSTRUMENT BROKE. THE PART BROKEN REMAINED IN THE PATIENT BODY. THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY IN 3.5 HOURS WITH 30 MINUTES OF DELAY.
