Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient had right side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2018 where three implants were placed.The patient had pain relief following the initial procedure but later reported pain complaints after a fall.The surgeon determined that the fall likely caused a sacral fracture around the most caudal positioned implant causing it to become loose.All the implants were well positioned and not loose before the fall.In (b)(6) 2019, the surgeon performed a revision surgery where he removed the caudal implant.This is a low severity and low occurrence event.The status of the patient following the procedure is not known.
