INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER REGARDING A PATIENT HAVING SPINAL THERAPY FOR CERVICAL FRACTURE.

DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF HEMORRHAGING IF REPOSITIONED, THE SURGICAL TEAM DECIDED TO LEAVE THE SCREW IN PLACE AND PROCEEDED WITH WOUND CLOSURE. POST-OPERATIVELY, THE PATIENT DID NOT REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE WARD. THERE WERE NO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS REPORTED REGARDING THE EVENT.
