It was reported that the device didn't attach firmly to the tibial 3¿ connector, when cutting the proximal tibial cuts the cuts were not horizontal, when the surgeon put the trial tibial implant and insert, the patella was not tracking well, upon rechecking on the cuts, it was noticed the cut wasn¿t parallel due to loosening of the block.
