It was reported that the surgeon tried to implant the poly insert but it would not fit even though we trialed through a range of motion with the exact same size trial insert.So the surgeon asked for me to open a new one since there seemed to be a malfunction with the original poly insert.There was a reported surgical delay of about 10 minutes.Doe: (b)(6) 2022.Affected side: right knee.

Additional information received indicated that the word ¿malfunction¿ was used because it seemed like something was wrong with the insert since the surgeon could not seat it into the patient even though an exact same trial size insert was used which seated normally.The surgeon assumed that it was not sliding in the knee like the normal.No harm was done to the patient.This occurred during a primary surgery.
