    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM HEALTHCARE PROVIDER (HCP) VIA A MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING A PATIENT IMPLANTED WITH SCREW AND PLATE HAVING CERVICAL LAMINOPLASTY ALTERNATE THERAPY FOR SPINAL CANAL STENOSIS. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE SCREW DID NOT WORK AND FALL OUT WHILE PLACING THE GULL WING PLATE AT C5 DURING DLAP IMPLEMENTATION. THE PLACEMENT POSITION WAS CHANGED AND THE RESCUE-SIZE SCREW WAS CHANGED, BUT STILL, THE SCREW DID NOT WORK. EVEN AFTER IT WAS REPLACED WITH A RADIUS PLATE, THE GUTTER CREATED ON THE LAMINA BROKE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PLACE THE PLATE. AT THE C5, THE PROCEDURE WAS CHANGED TO LAMINECTOMY. A RADIUS PLATE WAS PLACED AT C6, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PLACE IT PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE THICKNESS OF THE BASE OF THE SPINOUS PROCESS. THE SIZE WAS CHANGED AND IMPLEMENTED. THERE WAS A DELAY OF LESS THAN 60 MINS IN THE OVERALL PROCEDURE. THERE WAS NO PATIENT SYMPTOM REPORTED. THERE WERE NO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS REPORTED REGARDING THE EVENT. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED THAT THE EFFECT OF THE SCREW WAS INSUFFICIENT, IT WAS RE-INSERTED, BUT AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A LEVEL WHERE IT COULD NOT BE INSERTED. THE 1 VERTEBRAL ARCH HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM SURGICAL LAMINOPLASTY TO LAMINECTOMY. BECAUSE THE SCREW WAS REINSERTED, THE PLATE WAS RESET REPEATEDLY, AND THE GUTTER CREATED WAS DAMAGED. THERE WAS NO REVISION SURGERY OCCURRED/ PLANNED AS A RESULT OF THE EVENT.
