It was reported that before the surgery, the products in question ordered for the surgery via tka for the left oa could not be found.The patient was already under general anesthesia, but the surgery was cancelled at the surgeon's discretion.The surgeon commented that he would like a report on the whereabouts of the missing implants and how this happened.It was later discovered that this occurred because the agency had mistakenly returned the products that should not have been returned due to a lack of confirmation by the agency.
