It was reported that at the rod portion of the neck of the colail broach #15 (p/n l20415) was broken or deformed when the surgeon used the calcar reamer small during the surgery on (b)(6) 2019, so the surgeon could not insert the neck trial.The surgeon attempted explanting the broach however the broach handle was not able to attach, so the surgeon forcibly struck the broach handle in and connected and explanted the broach.The surgeon did a trial test with the broach #14 and confirmed there was no problem by the x-ray, implanted the stem #15.The surgery was completed within a 30 minutes delay and there was no adverse consequence to the patient.No further information is available.
