Event or Problem Description

It was reported that during trialing of the revision knee with the real tibial tray cemented into place it was deemed a 6 mm cr rp insert trial offered desired stability.At this point a real sz 7 6 mm cr rp attune insert was opened and implanted.It was immediately clear the real insert tension was not the same as the previous trial of the same size.The surgeon removed the real implant and trialed the 6 mm construct again and was again satisfied with the way the trial felt.The real implant was again inserted and found to be less stable than the trial.At this point a decision was made to open a real 7 mm insert and see how that felt and it offered the same stability as the 6 mm trial.Please note, this is a second independent device report for the same patient.
