No product was returned due to the facilities infection control protocol but radiographs were provided confirming the alleged device migration.It was noted the patient was obese but were reported to have been compliant with post-operative physical restrictions.The root cause could not be determined.Label review: "potential adverse events and complications - as with any major surgical procedures, there are risks involved in spinal/orthopedic surgery.Infrequent operative and postoperative complications that may result in the need for additional surgeries bending, fracture or loosening of implant component(s)." "warnings, cautions and precautions - correct selection of the implant is extremely important.The potential for success is increased by the selection of the proper size of the implant." "based on fatigue testing results, when using the coroent xl interfixated system, the physician/ surgeon should consider the levels of implantation, patient weight, patient activity level, other patient conditions, etc., which may impact on the performance of this system." "post-operative warnings - damage to the weight-bearing structures can give rise to loosening of the components, dislocation and migration as well as to other complications.To ensure the earliest possible detection of such catalysts of device dysfunction, the devices must be checked periodically postoperatively, using appropriate radiographic techniques.".
