Information was received from a healthcare professional via manufacturer representative regarding a set screw used in for l4/5 pyogenic spondylitis it was reported that a rubbing sound of the implant was heard when the patient woke up during the outpatient care visit in (b)(6) 2022, when an x-ray was taken and the two set screws on the right side of the head were removed.There was a complaint that the rod was protruding and hurting.Additional surgery - nail removal at l1to il was performed.Since the crp has also been rising and it is unknown whether there are any effects on the surrounding tissue due to the abrasion of the implant, a culture test would be carried out on the ones that include wear debris, just in case.The patient was given an implant, so it could not be removed.Only an image was taken of the dislodgement part of the set screw.The set screws for ll1 to il fixation and 1 and 2 on the right side were completely removed in that state.In addition to that, the set screw was also loose.Metal wear debris was confirmed in the l1, 2 screw head region.Heat generation was present at crp 13.There is no loosening of the pedicle screw.The device will not be returned as it is said that the patient will be given an implant on (b)(6) 2021, anterior l4/5 iliac bone graft and posterior pps (l1-il) fixation were performed due to l4/5 pyogenic spondylitis.It was a case where bone fusion had already been completed and the nail was under investigation.No patient symptoms were reported.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
