Yesterday with a brand new surgeon, we went to take our final numbers for tka to see if we were balanced with actual implants and the numbers were way off so i said "grab green probe" and we did the femur check point and it was all good then went to tibia check point and it was off like 6mm so i said the array must have been bumped or check point so i said "those numbers might not be accurate" and asked surgeon to see how it felt and he said it looked good so i said "ok you can remove everything "and they missed the checkpoints case type: tka.
