Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient had right side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2017 where three implants were placed.The patient had six months of pain relief before reporting a recurrence of si joint pain.The surgeon determined that the cranial positioned implant may have been too short and not optimally positioned across the si joint.In (b)(6) 2018, the surgeon performed a revision surgery where he removed the cranial positioned implant using chisels and packed the explant void with bone graft.He then placed a new, longer, ifuse implant packed with bone graft in a new posterior-to-anterior/inferior-to-superior trajectory to more fully cross and fixate the si joint.No other implants were adjusted or removed.The status of the patient following the revision procedure is not known.
