Souvenir of surgery

[Dan L]

It was the small drain/vent hole that you can see directly below the broken piece.  The doctor said it is to aid in getting the debris from drilling the alignment/post hole and he applies suction there while setting the cap.

Does anyone know if this hole in the location Neil describes is part of the standard procedure?
Just curious.

Thanks

Yes, it's part of the procedure.  It's for negative pressure when they put the cap on.  As the cap slides on there can't be any back pressure against the shaft (which would push the device back out).

Wonder how much that little drill bit would be worth in a settlement?    :o

A lot more than it cost when it was originally bought.

Wow thx John, news to me, makes sense though.

You would not find an attorney to take your case unless he knew you had damages, if the leftover drill bit is not going to bother anything (which it probably won't) what are your damages?
