Information was received from healthcare provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative regarding an event which occurred during an unknown spinal procedure in a patient.It was reported that the instruments were bent and therefore they could not be used properly.The extenders didn't hold the screws properly and the reducers didn't push the rod down properly.That's why some screws came loose from the extenders when the rod was reduced.The screws had to be reset and cemented again.The construct did not hold, so the patient had to be revised next week. there was no patient symptom reported.There were no further complications reported regarding the event.
