The patient had left side si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2019 where three implants were installed.The patient's si joint pain resolved for approximately a week before reporting radicular pain symptoms.The surgeon determined that the most superior positioned implant had encroached on the s1 neuroforamen causing radicular pain.In (b)(6) 2019, the surgeon performed a revision procedure where he backed up the superior positioned implant a few millimeters.The implant was not removed.The surgeon believes that the patient's radicular pain symptoms will resolve following the revision procedure.
