MalfunctionJun 24, 2026Fracture
ON (B)(6) 2026, DURING A PROCEDURE AT A HEALTHCARE FACILITY, ONE DEPTH ELECTRODE CEASED RECORDING. TROUBLESHOOTING WAS PERFORMED, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRODE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. DURING ATTEMPTED REMOVAL, SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE WAS ENCOUNTERED AND THE ELECTRODE COULD NOT BE WITHDRAWN. AN ADJACENT ELECTRODE WAS REMOVED TO RULE OUT POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE; HOWEVER, RESISTANCE PERSISTED. DURING CONTINUED REMOVAL ATTEMPTS, THE ELECTRODE FRACTURED, LEAVING THE DISTAL PORTION WITH ALL EIGHT CONTACTS RETAINED WITHIN THE PATIENT. A SURGICAL BURR HOLE WAS CREATED TO FACILITATE ACCESS AND REMOVAL OF THE RETAINED COMPONENTS. THE FRAGMENTED ELECTRODE SECTION AND AN ASSOCIATED PORTION OF THE ANCHOR BOLT TIP WERE SUCCESSFULLY RETRIEVED. POST-EVENT ASSESSMENT SUGGESTED THAT THE ANCHOR BOLT MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING DRILLING, RESULTING IN STRUCTURAL COMPROMISE THAT CONTRIBUTED TO ELECTRODE DAMAGE AND FRACTURE DURING REMOVAL.
