As reported by mps, tka case was completed robotically.I realized after the case that i selected the wrong size cr insert.I had shown the surgeon the box and he approved it to be open.However, the insert was a size 2x9mm cr insert, and he had already implanted a size 3 tritanium tibial baseplate.The surgeon had impacted the insert, thought nothing was wrong and finished the procedure.Approximately 2 hours later, i discovered the error in size congruency.I notified the surgeon and hospital staff immediately.The patient was still in the facility, so shortly thereafter, the patient was brought back to the or.The surgeon re-exposed the knee and exchanged the size 2 insert for the appropriate size 3x9mm cr insert.
