It was reported that, during a real intelligence cori assisted tka surgery, the checkpoints were checked successfully and a distal femur cut was performed.The cut block was then placed on femur, and when the position was checked, one (1) real intelligence tracker clamp notably moved on femur pins as the plane visualizer displayed that the block on the screen appeared 8 degrees off from plan in varus/valgus.Checkpoints revealed femur tracker movement and the femur checkpoint was off by 7 mm.It was verified no tibial checkpoint movement and the case was continued as planned; however, the femur array was not valid for final rom and stressed testing.The procedure was finished after a non-significant delay using the same device, and no injuries were reported as a result.
