  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUMATCH TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME. DURING INSERTION, THE DISTAL FEMUR GUIDE WAS DIFFICULT TO FULLY APPLY. THE PLANNING GAVE A SIZE 6 FEMUR, BUT SURGEON USED A FEMORAL SIZER FROM THE ANCILLARY BECAUSE THE ROTATION GIVEN SEEMED COMPLETELY INCORRECT, AS DID THE SIZING. AGREED ON A SIZE 4 FOR THE FEMUR. THIS IS STILL A BIG DIFFERENCE FROM SIZE 6. FOR THE TIBIA, SURGEON ALSO HAD TO SWITCH TO A SIZE 4 INSTEAD OF THE 5 PLANNED IN THE PLANNING. SURGEON DIDN'T MAKE ANY LARGE CUTS AND HAD TO RE-CUT THE DISTAL FEMUR BECAUSE THE EXTENSION SPACE WAS TOO TIGHT.
