IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE SURGEON PLANNED TO REMOVE A PATELLA PLATE ON (B)(6) 2022. THE REASON FOR REMOVAL WAS THAT THE PATIENT WAS EXPERIENCING PAIN WHEN KNEELING. THE HARDWARE HAD BEEN PLACED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. THE HARDWARE WAS SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED. THE REMOVAL WAS VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE OF THE INFERIOR SCREWS, AND ONE OF THE SCREWS COLD WELDED TO THE PLATE. THE PLATE HAD TO BE CUT AROUND THE SCREWS, AND THE SCREW REMOVAL SET WAS USED TO REMOVE THE SCREW. NO FURTHER INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE. THIS REPORT INVOLVES ONE 2.7 VA LCKNG ANT PATELLA PL SS/6-HOLE/STERILE. THIS IS REPORT 1 OF 11 FOR (B)(4).
