Event or Problem Description
|
|
Medtronic received information regarding a guidance system being used during a spinal procedure.It was reported that one screw was placed laterally compared to the planned trajectory during an l3-s1 case.The surgeon began at s1 right, worked upwards to l3, and then moved to the left side.A confirmation spin confirmed that l3 right was placed too laterally by 3.5 to 10 mm.The surgeon acknowledged that this was a challenging case due to the patient's bmi of 41, complex anatomy, and a significant amount of soft tissue.The site decided to use the navigation system to replace the screw at l3 right.There was no patient harm and the procedure was delayed less than one hour.
