It was reported that, during a thr, the reamer handle was rotating outside of its original axis.The intended acetabular diameter was damaged a little beyond the diameter described on the reamer dome.The plan was gradually adjusted as they increased the diameter of the reamers (changing to the larger reamer), without affecting the patient.Surgery was performed, without any delay, with the same device.No further complications were reported.
