    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT A LEFT WRIST PLATE WAS EXPLANTED DUE TO A RUPTURED TENDON. THE FRACTURE FOR WHICH IT WAS IMPLANTED HAD FULLY HEALED SO NO REVISION WAS NECESSARY. THE PLATE WAS CUT TO FACILITATE THE REMOVAL OF A SCREW, WHICH BROKE AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY LEFT IN THE PATIENT. THE DIFFICULTY IN REMOVING THE PLATE EXTENDED THE PROCEDURE BY ONE AND A HALF HOURS. THIS IS REPORT 2 OF 2 FOR (B)(4).
