It was reported that, during tka, after performing femoral cuts with the gii mis dcf ap cutting block 5, the gii spc reamthru cr trial-size 5 left did not match the chamfer cuts previously resected.Due to this, the surgeon manually performed again the chamfer cuts, which allowed the size 5 implant to fit well, but still were not aligning with the size 5 femoral trial.Surgery was completed, after a non-significant delay, by placing the initially planned size 5 implant.
