The patient had left side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2016 where three implants were placed.The patient later complained of leg pain.The implants had not breached the neuroforamen, but the surgeon thought that bone chips may have been irritating the nerve.In (b)(6) 2017, the surgeon performed a revision surgery where he removed the superior implant.No other preexisting implants were adjusted or removed.The patient's pain symptoms appear to have resolved following the revision procedure.
