Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient had left side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2014 where three implants were placed.The patient did well initially but later complained of a recurrence of left side si joint pain.The surgeon thought that some of the implants may have been loose.In (b)(6) 2017, the surgeon performed a revision surgery where he first tried to remove the middle implant but it was solidly fixed in bone and could not be moved.He then removed the inferior positioned implant and replaced it with a wider implant of the same type.Finally he added an additional implant of the same type anterior to the middle implant.The status of the patient following the revision procedure is not yet known.
