Event Description

It was reported that the patient underwent shoulder replacement surgery.During the procedure the surgeon asked for a 18x55 stem.After verifying on the box the correct size, the stem was handed to the circulator to open onto the sterile field.As the surgeon was handed the implant, he noticed that it was way too big compared to what we normally implant.Package was checked and confirmed everything said it was supposed to be a 18x55 micro stem but instead the implant was a 19x122 stem.Knowing another set of micro stems were not available, the surgeon elected to use a mini stem which resulted in a fracture of the humorous.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
