Event Description
|
Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.It was reported that the two left screws shifted outwards from the plan and it went out of bounds.It seemed that there was probably no problem with fixation, but the motor evoked potential (mep) value was low.There was no reported impact to patient's outcome and no surgical delay time.Additional information received indicated that patient's outcome was unknown and trajectories were deviated by a few millimeters.Additional information received indicated that the accurate trajectory and impact to patient's outcome was unknown though asked.The patient was paralyzed in the left leg after the surgery.In addition, only the left implant was completely removed.After the nail was removed, mep was performed, but there was no waveform and there was a possibility that the paralysis still remained.
