It was reported that the surgeon was reaming with the hudson adaptor and reamers the hudson attachment and the reamers stripped and had difficulty reaming the femur and the tibia.They tried this with both sets of our hudson¿s and t-handles and reamers.Also the size 4 tc3 box trial would not stay on the femur trial so think the torque screw must be stripped.A surgical delay of 15-20 minutes.
