Event or Problem Description

Surgeon was using the attune revision under the supervision of cb and mg from dps recon.The system was being used for the second stage of an infected knee arthroplasty.Unintentional outcome: preparation of the implant, approach, bone cuts, trialling etc went as planned.On introduction and impaction of the definitive femoral implant a small crack of the anterior cortex of the femur was detected towards the end of the case.This delayed the case by a further 30minutes whilst 2 x cerclage cables were applied to the femur.This happened at approximate 3pm.I am in the process of chasing the hospital for the lot details of the definitive implants.
