It was reported that the surgeon was reducing the hip during trial reduction and the neck segment disassociated from the trial broach.This caused a delay in surgery as surgeon had to dislocate the hip, re-attach the segment, and then reduce the hip again.This also prevents the surgeon from being able to accurately assess patients leg lengths during trial reduction.
