Event Description
|
It was reported the patient underwent a revision six (6) weeks following implantation of a mandible plate due to suspected infection.One (1) screw was found to have fallen off.During the revision, the surgeon noted bone infiltration by cancer tissue rather than infection, and that the screw had fallen off due to softening of the tissue.The planned refixation was not performed to make a definitive diagnosis of the cancer by histological examination.Re-fixation is being considered at a later date.It was reported that no further information is available.
