We evaluated the instrument and confirmed that the tip had come off the instrument. There is a big dent in the middle of the shaft and a smaller one near the distal end. The instrument shows corrosion. It is possible corrosion weakened the metal, or separation may have been caused by stress overload; we cannot confirm.
