MalfunctionMar 19, 2018Torn Material; Torn Material
I WAS COVERING A SPINE CASE AT (B)(6) HOSPITAL ((B)(4)) WITH DR. (B)(6). WE WERE PERFORMING A POSTERIOR SPINE FUSION OF C1-C2 USING MOUNTAINEER. THE CASE WENT WELL UNTIL THE SURGEON WENT TO USE THE FINAL TIGHTENER ON THE SET SCREW (1883-41-200) WHILE TIGHTENING, THE SET SCREW BEGAN TO SPIN FREELY INSIDE THE PILYAXIAL HEAD OF THE LONG SHANK SCREW 3.5MM X 36MM (1886-20-336). THE SURGEON ATTEMPTED TO USE A SEPARATE SET SCREW AND REALIZED THE POLYAXIAL HEAD MUST HAVE STRIPPED. AT THIS POINT WE DECIDED TO BACK OUT THE SCREW AND REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME ITEM. ONCE THIS WAS COMPLETED A NEW SET SCREW THREADED PERFECTLY AND COMPLETED THE CONSTRUCT. I SAVED THE STRIPPED SCREW AND DAMAGED SET SCREWS. PATIENT CONSEQUENCE? :NO IS THE INFORMATION BEING SUBMITTED FOR THIS COMPLAINT ALL THE DETAILS THAT ARE KNOWN/AVAILABLE REGARDING THIS EVENT? : YES.
