Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that x-rays from a post-operative review found that an roi-a cage shifted position at the l4-5 level, and the vertebral endplate fractured.The cage was initially placed during an anterior procedure, but the position shift was found after a second procedure was performed approximately three weeks later to add a posterior construct.The patient had lower back pain, which led to the post-operative review.The current plan of treatment consists of bed-rest; a revision to correct the cage's position is not currently planned.
