Stryker facial id plating system (k193143) customized plates did not align with 3d systems guides (lefort marking guide, maxilla cutting guide, and sagittal split marking guide).This issue was identified during surgery after the surgeon had used the guides to fixate custom plates in the patient's maxilla and mandible.Upon identification, the plates were removed and new holes were drilled for fixation.The issue caused unnecessary holes to be drilled into the patient , however, the surgery was successful with no adverse effects to the patient.The issue added 90 additional minutes to the procedure.Investigation identified case planning files were incorrectly exported by 3d systems personnel resulting in the 3d systems guides to incorrectly indicate the custom plate fixation hole location for the surgical procedure.
