Event description: "last (b)(6), at the (b)(6) hospital, a lengthening surgery for the tibia was performed, with dr. (b)(6) and my person as technical support. During the whole procedure we did very well, the assembly and application of the tutor were good. At the moment that the dr wants to distract the osteotomy, turning the lengthening nuts, four of them are fully consolidated to the bars, blocking the whole system. To solve we had to cut the bars and change the whole part of the assembly that was affected; therefore the osteotomy moved. Finally and in summary, we finished the procedure after correcting the whole problem (the translation could not be completely corrected). We are waiting for the review of said patient ((b)(6) 2019) where he will verify the functioning of the tutor and the post-operative lengthening nuts. The complaint report form also indicates: the device failure caused adverse effects on patient (loss of fracture reduction). The initial surgery was not completed with the device.
