It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, the patient underwent a tha surgery for oa.The surgeon performed final rasping using the broach and then moved on to a procedure using a trial device.When the surgeon tried to attach the neck segment to the neck of the broach, they did not engage well.The surgeon removed the broach once and tried to engage the broach and neck segment at the outside of the body, but it was also difficult to engage.The neck segment was forcefully pushed into the broach, and the neck segment and broach could not be separated this time and was finally separated using elevators.The surgeon gave up using the neck segment and used another product for a trial procedure.After that, a real implant was inserted, and the surgery was completed successfully within 30 minutes delay.After surgery, the products in question were checked, and a scratch was found on the neck of the broach.Again, the neck segment did not engage smoothly with the broach.Since the scratch did not seemed to be observed at the time of the preoperative inspection, it is considered that the cause of the scratch on the broach was the broach handles used in a rasping procedure.No further information is available.
