It was reported that a cranioplasty for a cranial defect occurred on (b)(6) 2017 and it was discovered that the cranios bone cement popped out in one piece postoperatively following the cranioplasty.Prior to placing the cement, the surgeon needed to remove some necrotic brain tissue.After placement of the cement, the cement cured successfully.Twenty-four hours postoperatively, the patient developed a cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leak which increased the intracranial pressure (icp) in the skull.When the surgeon went back in to fix the csf leak, it was discovered that the cement had popped out in one piece.There was no patient harm.The sales consultant stated that it takes 48 hours for the cement to cure and the cement was not fully cured at that point.The surgeon felt the issue was due to the csf leak and not due the cranios cement.The surgeon repaired the leak, removed the cement and reconstructed with a synthes titanium mesh on (b)(6) 2017.The patient outcome was reported as fine.This report is for one (1) cranios reinforced fast set putty 10cc-sterile.This is report 1 of 2 for complaint (b)(4).
