MAUDE report 12098252 ↗InjuryDec 18, 2020Malposition of Device
THE PATIENT CAME IN REPORTING PAIN AND THE CAUSE OF THE PAIN IS UNKNOWN. POST-OP X-RAYS INDICATED THAT CAGES EJECTED INTO THE CANAL AFTER THE PRIMARY SURGERY. THE SURGEON REMOVED THE CAGES 28 DAYS AFTER PRIMARY AND DID NOT PUT ANY IMPLANTS IN TO REPLACE THEM. THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PATIENT GOT INTO A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION IN POST-OP CARE. THIS IS MOST LIKELY THE REASON WHY THE CAGES ENDED UP FREE FLOATING. THE AGENT THINKS THE SURGEON MAY HAVE PUT BONE GRAFT IN PLACE BUT IS NOT 100% CERTAIN.
