    INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM HEALTHCARE PROVIDER (HCP) VIA A MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING A PATIENT HAVING C6 LAMINOPLASTY FOR CSR. IT WAS REPORTED THAT OPEN DOOR PLATE WAS SELECTED WHEN PERFORMING C6 LAMINOPLASTY.¿FIRST, IT WAS INSERTED A 2.5 X 7 MM SCREW ON THE CRANIAL SIDE OF THE LATERAL MASS. IT WAS SAID THAT THE SCREW WAS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE, AND IT'S HARD TO INSERT.¿NEXT, 2.5 X 5 MM¿WAS INSERTED¿TO THE CAUDAL SIDE, BUT THE SCREW WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. THEY CHANGED THE SCREW DIAMETER TO 3.0 AND INSERTED IT, BUT THE SCREW WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. IN BOTH CASES, THE SCREW DID NOT PROCEED WELL WHEN IT WAS INSERTED INITIALLY, AND THE SCREWS WERE DIFFICULT TO INSERT. ALL THE SCREWS WERE¿REPLACED¿WITH DIFFERENT ONES AND CHANGED THE PLATE TO A LATERAL HOLE. ANOTHER PILOT HOLE WAS CREATED AND THE PLATE WAS FINALLY STABLE.¿THERE WERE NO PATIENT SYMPTOMS REPORTED. THERE WERE NO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS REPORTED REGARDING THE EVENT.
