THE SURGEON VOICED CONCERN THAT THE IMPLANT WAS TOO LOOSE I SUGGESTED A LARGER CAGE MAY PROVIDE A MORE EFFECTIVE RESULT. THE SURGEON PROCEEDED TO PREPARE THE CRANIALLY AIMED SCREW AND INSERTED A 14MM SCREW PAST THE LOCKING CLIP, THEN ATTEMPTED TO REPOSITION THE PLATE PORTION OF THE IMPLANT CAUSING IT TO DISCONNECT FROM THE PEEK PORTION ON THE IMPLANT. THE SURGEON THEN BACKED OUT THE INITIAL SCREW AND REMOVED IT SIMULTANEOUSLY ALONG WITH THE PLATE. THE ASSISTANT RETRIEVED THE PEEK PORTION OF THE CAGE WITH BAYONETED FORCEPS. THE SCREW STILL CONNECTED TO THE PLATE WAS LEFT TO BE ADDRESSED LATER AS THE SURGEON STATED IT
