Product complaint # (b)(4).If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.

Event Description

It was reported that while using the distal femoral cutting block, the pin got caught in the pin hole and would not come out.After removing the pin, it seemed that the hole may have a burr in it which is catching the pin.I would guess that the block has been used in over 200 surgeries.Also, the scrub noticed that two of the femoral impactors were showing signs of wear.One has a crack at the point where the handle attaches.The other is scuffed on the end that impacts the femur.I¿m sure that both impactors have been used in 50 plus surgeries.
