Haha, nah. You typically don't excise bone fragments when you plan on putting them back together. That would force you to unnecessarily remove a bunch of soft tissue that surrounds/attaches to the bone.
Yeah, I was thinking more like it was shattered and they forgot to put in the titanium rod replacement.
Really unlikely... It would be hard to miss a shattered tibia if you are already placing hardware in the fibula. Orthopedic surgery isn't really a gentle process, you are usually really moving the limb around a lot and limbs get really floppy when you have unsupportive fractures.
Plus, all hardware is tagged and tracked before, throughout, and after the operation. Mistakes happen, but it usually involves accidentally leaving a foreign body, and usually involves supplies that aren't specific to the individual surgery like gauze, sponges, or clamps.
You say it's all tagged, but people, even recently have died or sued hospitals all the time for them screwing that up.
Any examples of orthopedists forgetting to install hardware......? Not exactly sure how you would go about forgetting to do the surgery you are currently doing. Nor can I really understand how not installing orthopedic hardware would really endanger a patient's overall health.
Like I said mistakes happen, but generally it's forgetting to take something out, not forgetting to put something in.
