It was reported that during a brainlab navigated case using expedium 5.5 kit and symphony navigated 3.2 drill guide, four screws were placed in the patient.Two went in without complication, the second two took longer and surgeon wasn¿t happy that the placement was accurate.With the brainlab rep, each item's calibration was checked.It was the noted that although the drill guide was still visible to the navigation system, it was not accurate by at least couple of mm.On further examination, the array had shifted slightly on the instrument.Following a discussion with surgeon, it was decided in future to check with the scrub team and rep to ensure the instrument is still aligned between each use.Surgeon chose to remove the screws and continue with an uninstrumented fusion.The surgery was prolonged by one hour extra.
