Event Description

In (b)(6) 2015, the surgeon performed an ifuse arthrodesis on the patient placing three implants.During the course of the procedure, the tip of a guide pin was broken off and left inside the implant.All three implants were ultimately successfully placed.The tip of the pin is safely in bone and is not impinging on the neuroforamen.The proximal portion of the pin is safely inside the implant and is not protruding into the soft tissue.The surgeon does not believe that the tip of the pin will migrate and believes that this will cause no problems.
