Event or Problem Description
|
|
The surgeons was attempting to trial the high offset neck trial on the size 12 broach as per normal procedure, but was unable to seat the trial neck on the size 12 broach.After being unable to trial the neck, the surgeon then had to implant the definitive stem and then trial off that.Upon investigation by the team after the case, they could see that the adaptor on the broach may be damaged preventing the neck trial from seating.They also tried the std neck trial to confirm, and this was hard to seat on the broach too.No rep was present at the case.
