    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    TWO EIT CAGES PEI31002 WERE IMPLANTED IN LEVEL L5/S1 ON (B)(6) 2018. WHEN EXAMINING THE PATIENT IN ITS POST SURGERY CONSULTATION, THE SURGEON NOTICED BOTH CAGES HAD MOVED POSTERIORLY CAUSING PAIN FOR THE PATIENT. BOTH CAGES THEREFORE WERE REMOVED ON (B)(6) 2018 AND REPLACED WITH 1MM K2M CASCADIA CAGES. UPON EXAMINING THE CAGES ONCE REMOVED, SURGEON SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF BONE INTEGRATION AND STEAD A FIBROUS TISSUE HAD FORMED IN AND AROUND IT INSTEAD.
