Narrative

Description of Event or Problem

It was reported that the patient presented with a fistula and which required an assessment of the previously implanted hardware. An Expedium Verse system was dispatched to the facility; however, during the procedure, it was discovered that the implanted hardware was actually an Expedium Adult transpedicular system. The affected screws were subsequently removed using the facility's own instruments. The patient has been referred for infection management, and the procedure for re-fixation is pending rescheduling.
