Narrative
Description of Event or Problem
It was reported that during the procedure, as the specialist was preparing to use the drill bit, the tip snapped off upon contact with the cortical bone; it did not remain inside the patient, nor did it delay the procedure. The issue was resolved by switching to another bit of the same specification, and the surgery was successfully completed. There was no patient harm.
