Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The evaluation noted that the calcar fracture was reported to have occurred during the original surgery.Since the calcar was fractured during the original surgery, it likely occurred while preparing the femur and may have been related to the feed rate/pressure of the calcar planer, reamer rotational speed, or the patient¿s bone quality/geometry.
