Event Description

Information was received from healthcare provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative regarding a patient having spinal therapy for l5/s bone fusion failure, s2ai set screw dislodgement.Date of initial surgery- first time: (b)(6) 2021, second time: (b)(6) 2022 initial surgery or the procedure taken: th4-s2ai l4/5/s plif (adult spinal deformity) it was reported that the patient was initially fixed with th4-s2ai, then it was once replaced with s2ai by reoperation and connected with mrc with double s2ai on both sides and parallel rod extension to the cranial side.  right set screw came off and replacement re-operation was performed. the inner rod was extended to l2 and it was in contact with the mrc, so it was deployed below l2. when all the implants were exposed, it was found that the two s2ai set screws on the right side had come off as shown in the xray, but the set screw on the left side had also come off on the cranial side.In addition, the s2ai screws on both caudal sides had rods detached from the head on both sides.On the left side, the set screw was not detached, but the rod was detached from the head, which surprised the doctor.First, the prolock between l4/5 was removed, then the three mrc setscrews on each side were removed, and the mrc setscrews were removed from the inside, but it felt a little tight.After it was loosened, the set screw on the main line rod side was loosened, but it appeared to be even stiffer, so a t25 retention screwdriver was used to remove it.However, it was very stiff, so a bone hammer was used to tap it from various directions to pull it out again, and it was very stiff, but the physician managed to pull the last one out.The screwdriver snapped a little, and when the tip was checked, it was found to be slightly chipped just before the tip, so it was changed to a t25 obturator to pull it out. after that, the rod was removed and all four s2ai screws were started to be pulled out, but before the driver was inserted, the doctor commented that the area around the crown looked badly gouged except for the inside of the head.The doctor wondered if it had anything to do with the rod sticking out of the s2ai head on the caudal side.The doctor said it was not clear. when the s2ai screws were removed, the l3/4/5 set screws were removed.The l5 screws both sides were removed by bouncing the rods temporarily with an in-situ bender. afterwards, the o-arm was turned and navigation was done. screw replacement was initiated while checking the screw hole, etc. two s2ai screw ha sticks were inserted on the caudal side one after the other.This time, it was inserted with closed ballast and it worked well with no problem. s2ai on the cranial side was difficult to reinsert, so it was inserted using a sacral alar-iliac screw.The sacral screws were aligned and the l5 screws were reinserted.(there was also a case where the screw was grazed with a lateral release last time).It was decided to leave the l5 removed as it was judged difficult to reinsert l5, the excess per l5 of the main line rod was cut off with a metal cutter, and rod placement was started. as before, the rod was extended in parallel from s2a.This time, the contact was started with the new modulex domino.The attachment position and fit were checked during the trial.The m5 domino main line gripping jaw part was also neat and fit without any problem.Also, the implants were slimmer overall, so 3 implants per side could be placed in the same position as the mrc without any problem.When the rods were installed, they were in two vertical rows on the closed ballast, so these could not be dropped from the top because these had to be slid through there.Although these were a little chunky, they went in relatively easily and were fixed temporarily with no problem.However, it was still neater than the mrc and the doctor's evaluation was not bad.  after confirming the final image and finding no problems, the final fastening and cross-linking were done.The procedure was completed.There was no patient symptom reported.There were no further complications reported regarding the event.Additional information was received that the third repeat surgery occurred on (b)(6) 2023.It was noticed post-operatively that the screw head's crown area was severely twisted and set screws came off.Lack of screw driver tip was noticed intra-operatively.
