It was reported that; surgeon placed a neutral cross connector in conjunction with an 8.5x80 screw at the left iliac.When trying to place a blocker/set screw into the 8.5 x 80 screw, he was unable thread it in completely (unable to final tighten).He was frustrated because he did everything "by the book." he was forced to extract the 8.5 x 80 screw and replace with another screw.Upon implanting the new screw, he was able to easily place the blocker and final tighten appropriately.
