|
A notification was received stating that an mrk¿ size 2 femur (and bespoke guides for case (b)(4)) (left) was revised to a hinged knee within 1 month of the primary operation.The primary operation date was reported to be (b)(6) 2017.It was stated that osteophytes prevented proper fitting of a bespoke femoral guide.With application of force, the guide was fitted to the patient anatomy and appeared to fit securely despite a fracture [of the guide] at the top right.The procedure was continued with the bespoke having guided the cutting guide positions, however the anterior femoral cut introduced a large notch.(b)(4).
