Event Description
|
It was reported that, during an shoulder arthroscopy, the patient suffered cartilage damages in the humerus as a consequence of an existing gap between the 5.00 mm cannula tip-end (which has a sharp edge) and the arthroscope when connected.As this adverse consequence was noticed after the procedure, the surgery had been finished with the same device, in a timely manner.It is still unknown: (i) the outcome and evolution of the patient; and (ii) if there was any necessary revision surgical intervention to preclude any permanent damage to the cartilage.
