A patient underwent high tibial osteotomy (hto).During the surgery, the surgeon in charge of the patient fixed the osteotomized tibia with a metal plate and bone screws and implanted this product (bone void filler) into the bone defect formed after the osteotomy.After the surgery, however, the surgeon confirmed that the patient was developing a surgical site infection.The patient therefore underwent debridement of necrotic tissue and wound irrigation.Comments of the surgeon: since no symptom of infection was observed in the patient's knee joint, the surgeon hastened to carry out debridement of necrotic tissue and wound irrigation.The surgeon assume that an additional surgery would be necessary to remove the plate and screws in the near future.This product would not be an immediate cause of this adverse event.
