The root-cause investigation concluded that the product has not malfunctioned and that not following the precaution defined in the instruction for use, ifu-0007-12 seems to be the most likely cause for white-drainage and thereby re-operation in this case.There is a precaution in the ifu007 stating: "in aneurysmal bone cysts (abcs) and other bone cysts prone to producing large volumes of fluid, there is increased risk of wound drainage, soft-tissue inflammation and wound breakdown if treated by open surgery.Use cerament bone void filler in bead form rather than complete void filling for these indications." even though white drainage is a well-known side effect in calcium-based bone void fillers, the use of cerament bone void filler in bead form might have led to a less severe complication.
