Event Description

During the surgical procedure we noticed that the anterior chamfer cut looked proud.We checked the cut with our green probe and had a reading of 1.8mm proud on both the medial and lateral aspects of the anterior chamfer cut.We then went back over the cut and checked again.The cut was still approximately 0.9mm proud on the medial aspect of the cut and 1.2mm proud on the lateral aspect.We then cut again and took it down to 0.0mm on the medial side and 0.2mm on the lateral side.The visual on the screen had turned ¿white¿ indicating the bone was cleared even though we still had 1.8mm of bone remaining.This surgeon has filed 8 other complaints with the same issue; in the past this has caused malpositioning of the component & inability to pressfit.With this case our outcome was fine, but we are requesting an expedited look into this particular consistent issue.Please associate this case with all the other cases as (b)(6) are having a meeting with dr (b)(6) this week to discuss.Case type: tka.Surgical delay: = 15 minutes.
