The patient had right side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2013 where three implants were placed.The patient later complained of a recurrence of pain.In (b)(6) 2016, an additional implant was added to help stabilize the joint.In (b)(6) 2018, a different surgeon removed the most cranial positioned implant due to possible loosening and replaced it with a wider implant of the same type to help further fixate the joint.No other preexisting implants were adjusted or removed.The status of the patient following the revision is not known.
