Event Description
|
It was reported that a patient specific implant (psi) could not be used in surgery due to the implant not fitting properly.It was further explained that the psi was noted to fit on one side but not the other.The surgeon decided to cut the implant in half and go ahead and implant it in the patient as planned.There was an unknown surgical delay due to the change in the surgical plan and the adjustments required to make the psi fit.It is unknown what devices were used to cut the implant in half, what devices were used to assist with the fitting.Plates may have been used to span the middle of the psi but this has not been confirmed.To the reporter's knowledge, there was no harm to the patient.The surgeon is considering a revision but, to date, a revision surgery has not been scheduled.This report is for one (1) psi peek implant.This is report 1 of 1 for com-(b)(4).
