Event Description

Calcification and acute pain after scp.

Manufacturer Narrative

Scp surgery was reported to have been performed on the foot or ankle of the patient with no complications on (b)(6) 2019.On (b)(6) 2019, following surgery, it was reported immediate post-op there was acute pain but there was no heel pain.Three attempts were made to contact the sales representative about the reported event; however, the sales representative was unable to be reached to discuss the event.X-ray images were provided.Visual in the x-ray can be seen some calcification of the venous structure surrounding the posterior heel.Calcification of some areas of venous structure following the scp procedure has been observed and reported previously in other clinical complaints.Upon further consult with expert surgeons and follow up, usually it has been determined that similar calcification was resolved and had not resulted in any further complication, injury, or pain.The opinion of faculty surgeons consulted was that this occurrence usually is not a cause for further concern and normally resolves over time.If any additional information becomes available about the event, a supplemental report will be submitted.The dhr for the raw material and finished goods lot was reviewed, and no anomalies related to the complaint condition were noted.The product was not returned for the investigation, as it remains implanted in the patient.
