Event or Problem Description

I was informed by dr (b)(6) to provide implants for the above case.Requested profix inserts.Intra-operatively we realized that the implants insitu was not a profix knee and was an advantum knee instead due to the profix insert not fitting properly.I advised the surgeon that this was the case but due to surgery in progress, he decided to still use the profix insert as the advantum one wasn't available.I advised the surgeon that the articulation will be affected and this was acknowledged.
