A fractured instrument in the canal: limits of the decision to remove it

There is a fractured instrument in the MB canal of a lower molar, and the two canals join. If the fragment is bypassed through the ML canal, can the problem be resolved?

Translated version of the Turkish original

The problem may be resolved, but if the canals join and then end at two separate apices, there may be a problem.
