During an l5-s1 posterior lumbar interbody fusion using our viper prime system dr.Rob whitmore inserted multiple screws under navigation with the medtronic stealth system.The medtronic suretrack clamp was attached securely to the viper prime navigated screwdriver and then manually calibrated into the stealth system.The navigation seemed to be working well until the 3rd screw when the surgeon noticed that the navigation was off.We spun the o-arm which confirmed that 2 of the screws were not where he intended them to be.We had to change his technique and instead use a jamshidi needle and k-wires.There was no harm to the patient but it added time to the procedure.Patient consequence?: no.Action taken for procedure:the surgeon changed his technique and used a navigated jamshidi needle and k-wires to complete the procedure.Is the information being submitted for this complaint all the details that are known/available regarding this event?: yes.
