The patient had initial right side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2016.The patient complained of leg pain sometime after the initial surgery.In (b)(6) 2016, the surgeon performed a revision surgery where he removed the first and third implants that he suspected were impinging on the nerve root, leaving the middle implant in place (previously reported on mdr 3007700286-2016-00046).The patient later had a recurrence of pain.The surgeon thought that the sole remaining implant may have been loose.In (b)(6) 2016, the surgeon attempted to remove the remaining implant, but it was solidly fixed in bone and could not be removed.It was not loose.The surgeon left the implant in place and debrided the joint and added bone graft.The status of the patient following the surgery is not yet known.
