Event Description
|
The surgeon reported that the dimension of the passive tibial stem of the implant was incorrectly stated on the operation drawing and design proposal as a cylindrical passive stem 10.5mm diameter.The surgeon observed that the implant had a taper section, and the stem's proximal section was larger than 10.5 mm.As a result, a 20 to 30 minute delay in the procedure occurred while the surgeon prepared the stem's canal to accommodate the stem.The surgeon also expressed dissatisfaction with the tibial plateau preparation instrumentation, i.E., his preference includes a punch for the anti-rotation flanges, and a reamer for the cannulated portion of the tibial base plate poly that extends distally into the im canal.The procedure was complete successfully with no reported adverse effects to the patient.
