[186109860] It was reported that on an unknown date the patient had an unknown procedure using a trochanteric femoral nailing advanced (tfna) system. During the surgery, while installing the tfna and approaching the intramedullary (im) canal, it was realized that the canal was too tight distally. The canal was reamed after cabling the femur to reduce a section of the fracture. After reducing the fracture with the unknown cables, the surgeon began reaming for an unknown nail and installed the nail. Then the surgeon began the proximal locking with an unknown helical blade and everything was fine. However, when the surgeon began attempting to lock distally by drilling the hole, the surgeon heard the chattering of the bone and the drill would not advanced any further. The surgeon changed the drill and drilled again, the aiming arm and insertion handle to tfna were tight and attached properly with everything in the proper location. Finally, the surgeon then removed the aiming arm and insertion handle and attempted to freehand the distal locking screw when he heard a chattering.
