Event Description
|
Surgeon reported to me directly during the case ((b)(6) hospital) that the corail stem inserter he used to implant the stem in the case had a worn/rounded off tip and therefore does not engage properly in the reciprocating hole in the top of the shoulder of the stem.This did not cause any issue this time but he reported has the potential to create unwanted version when the stem is being implanted into the bone as you're unable to control the angle/version of the stem with the stem inserter.Surgery completed as planned, no adverse event/patient outcome.
