It was reported during knee surgery.Intraoperatively, the sleeve and femoral component were assembled using the retaining clip instrument, resulting in the inability to remove the instrument from the implants.This necessitated the use of another set of implants, causing a surgical delay of approximately 45 minutes.The surgery was completed successfully, and there was no patient involvement or observable clinical symptoms.
