Event or Problem Description
|
|
A surgeon reported that a patient who had undergone an unicompartmental knee arthroplasty procedure navigated by the orthalign plus system returned three and a half months later with a fracture in the tibia below the tibial resection.The fracture required a revision procedure with a long tibial stem to constrain the arthroplasty components and bypass the fracture site.
