Event Description

During a 2nd stage knee revision the surgeon reported fracturing the proximal tibia when seating the attune revision tibial broach in the proximal tibia.The surgeon had already prepared the proximal tibia bone with a stem pilot/broach and tib tray however when he extracted the trial construct (with rp adapter and system handle) the tib tray rotation was not locked and therefore he was required to re-seat the stem trial/broach into the prepared bone envelope and lock off his rp tray rotation before extracting and transferring this to the definitive implant/assembling.He commented that when the registrar re-inserted the broach into the bone she hit it too hard which he thinks caused the fracture.It was worth noting that the registrar also had great difficulty extracting the trial stem and broach/tray construct once the rotation had been locked and when the surgeon took over, he ended up removing the rp trial tray and attaching the broach handle to remove the broach (which is when he noticed the small fracture in the prox tib) and repeating the above steps to set the rotation.The surgery continued as planned and he advised that this fracture would not change the outcome of the surgery.He did comment that the rp adapter which clicks on to the system handle is designed poorly as he thinks it spins around too easily and wobbles a lot when trying to engage the rp tibial trial tray for extraction.
