Surgeon was revising a pfc fb knee on tuesday 15th jan, came to implantation after a long case and couldn¿t get the pfc sigma 8mm stabilized inserts to engage into respective size 2 fb tray which was in situ from previous surgery.He then tried a second insert after failing to get the insert to lock into tray and had same problem with second.The patients joint was very tight which made the process challenging but he thought it's strange as had never had problems getting insert to lock in before and when switched to cr inert this locked in easily at first attempt.He decided due to extended theatre time, he couldn¿t keep patient in theatre longer and potentially revise further and settled for a cr insert despite this not being a recommended construct.
