Event Description
|
The company was informed about a supplemental fixation surgery of a promis system in (b)(6) due to degenerative disease in adjacent level.The surgeon indicated that the original surgery was at least 5 years ago and included l2/l3 fixation with the promis system and a cage, and that the reason for the subsequent surgery was common adjacent ddd and not implant related.In the supplemental fixation surgery additional microscopic decompression was performed, the rods were replaced with two 80mm promis rods and two pedicle screws were added, with a cage between l3/l4.No failure in the promis rods/screws or their positioning was indicated.The screws were intact and well positioned and not removed.The rods that were replaced were not returned and were therefore not available for further investigation.No additional information other than implant identification is available.
