Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that when the surgeon attempted to impact the poly liner onto the stem it would not fully seat, due to a mis match between the poly liner and stem.The surgeon then had to use a high speed burr to remove part of the poly so it could be impacted on correctly.There was a delay or 10 minutes due to getting the burr to take some of the excess poly off so it would fit the stem.No adverse events have been reported as a result of the malfunction.Attempts have been made and there is no further information at this time.
