Event or Problem Description

It was reported that during hip arthroplasty surgery, a wagner trial stem was selected.During this operation the interconnection screw between the metaphysis and the taproot was broken, making its removal difficult.The surgeon had to lengthen the incision and make a femoral resection to extract the trial stuck in the femur and then make a reduction and implant a longer stem.The surgical time increased by 90 minutes.Due diligence is in progress for this complaint; to date no additional information or product has been received.
