It was reported that, during cori assisted tka, the anterior femur was notched by 3mms.
The surgeon used the bur distal approach with punch tool then placed the size 4 cutting block, but the system sized for a size 5.
They adjusted the gaps and resection to appropriate position, but the anterior cut was below the implant flange and conservative.
Final planning screen showed an aggressive but 0.
5 mm into notch warning anterior cut (the surgeon used a wide angle sawblade).
Initially, the femur trial would not fit and surgeon had to put on the size 4 cutting block again to check the cuts.
They were still able to move more bone, but trial did not sit flush.
