Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient had si joint arthrodesis in (b)(6) 2014 where two implants were installed.The patient had a period of pain relief but later reported to a different surgeon with complaints of a recurrence of si joint pain.The surgeon determined that the cranial positioned implant was malpositioned and loose.In (b)(6) 2020, the surgeon performed a revision surgery where he removed the cranial positioned implant and replaced it with a larger implant of the same type.An additional implant was also installed to help fixate the si joint.The patient's joint appears to be better stabilized with less pain.
