Event Description

Both tibial and femoral trumatch cutting blocks broke during procedure.There was no adverse effect for patient and whilst they did break they were still useable so did not add any significant time onto the operation and the outcome of surgery was very positive.Operating surgeon wanted to bring to your attention the issue.He thinks the femoral block broke due to bone being extremely sclerotic but said that could not account for the tibial one.Codes can be found on attached images.Hospital disposed of trumatch blocks so unable to return for analysis.
