Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the anterior chamfer cut looked too large so we had the probe run along that one first, which read accurate,.Then i had him run it over the distal cut which was off and then moved to the checkpoint which was also off.Was planned for a cementless but switched to cemented once we realized the cuts were inconsistent.Even after recuts with the array in the same position the trial was still showing significant ant chamfer gaping.
