Event Description
|
The implant was introduced by hand into the femur and then was impacted for the final stages using the handle.After the implant was seated into the bone the foreign body was noticed at the shoulder of the implant.At that stage the surgeon felt it was unsafe to remove the implant fearing of a fracture.He decided to keep the implant in situ accepting the fact that the foreign material was packed with the implant and therefore it was sterile.No known injury.The implant had been through sterilisation process so he assumed the cotton bud was sterile and therefore causing no harm.
