It was reported that patient underwent a revision procedure to replace a superion implant the physician felt was undersized and due to that reason was displaced.During the revision procedure wherein the physician was retrieving the dislodged implant and removing tissue surrounding the implant, he noticed that the spinous process was loose and was not rigid and there was a fracture.At that point the physician decided to brace the patient and start a bone density drug to help the patient heal, and did not move forward with a larger size implant.The patient was stable post operatively and will continue to be monitored by physician.
