Otismed Shapematch Cutting Guide 

Reason

The surgical protocol for the Shapematch cutting guides did not provide sufficient information on the position of the cutting guide, the need for osteophyte / soft tissue removal, the requirement for proper axial drilling, and the need to avoid angulation and mal-alignment . The approved pre-operative plan did not provide sufficient information regarding the need for osteophyte removal.  Some shapematch cutting guides may have been manufactured using pre-operative planning values that were inconsistent with the values displayed via the Otismed.net web portal.
