Event or Problem Description
|
|
I was reported that; during surgery, a lateral mass screw hole at c6 was attempted to be created using an adjustable drill guide and drill.The screw hole became bigger than expected because the drill felt blunt and it was needed to apply force.The surgery was completed with a recovery shot.The recovery shot was approached from the same entry point towards the cortical bone of the c6 / 7 articular surface, and a screw was implanted.There was a reported 30 minute surgical delay.There are no reports of adverse health consequences to the patient.
