Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the patient underwent balloon kyphoplasty procedure on t12 spine level due to primary osteoporosis and compression fracture.Intra-op, during cement injection, the cement leaked out along the side wall of the vertebral body and leaked from the diseased vertebra (t12) to the side wall of the l1.The surgeon considers that the cement leakage occurred because the widening of the balloon might have been excessive.The surgeon judged that this event has no influence on the patient.The cement was stored at a proper temperature before and during the procedure; and was mixed for less than 9 minutes.The cement was doughy and homogeneous prior to delivery into the patient.No patient complications were reported as a result of this event.
