Information was received from healthcare provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative regarding a patient having posterior fixat ion procedure at l1¿l3.The procedure was performed as a revision surgery following a prior bkp at l2 for osteoporotic compression fracture.It was reported that during the procedure, a gap between the locking outer sleeve and the tab extender cap was noticed.The physician was consulted and indicated that it should be fine as the button could not be pressed.However, cement leakage was confirmed under imaging.The screw was removed and inserted again to address the issue.Prior revision surgery was performed for instability of the adjacent vertebral bodies, described as adjacent segment disease, and not due to a cement product issue.It was also confirmed that no issue was identified with the cement itself and that the reported cement leakage during the current procedure was attributed to the fenestrated screw issue, specifically the gap between the locking outer sleeve and tab extender cap.There was no patient symptom reported.There were no further complications reported regarding the event.
