Event or Problem Description

|
The stem would not come out with just the slap hammer.He beat it until he broke our slapper and a competitors hammer.When he windowed the distal femur ( the stem is fully coated ha) a couple of taps with the tamp it came out easily.What i should have said is that when he loosened it up distally it came out easy.Sorry for the confusion.
