Every incident, injury and recall on file, from the national registries that publish them. Search a maker, a model, a town or a reference number — or narrow by what happened. Each record is the registry's own text, reproduced without rewriting, with the reference that locates it at the source. Registries count different things, so a total is a count of FILINGS and never a measure of how dangerous something is. How the record was collected.

I NEVER FULLY RECOVERED, AND HAD SEVERE INSTABILITY WITH EXTENSIVE PAIN AND SWELLING THAT WORSENED APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS POST SURGERY. DESPITE EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY, I NEEDED TO HAVE REVISION SURGERY ON (B)(6) 2022. THE SURGEON CONFIRMED GLOBAL INSTABILITY OF THE KNEE, WITH MECHANICAL LOOSENING OF THE PROSTHETIC. A 13 MM POLYETHYLENE INSERT WAS INSTALLED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL 9 MM INSERT. TWO YEARS SINCE THE REVISION SURGERY I CONTINUE TO HAVE SWELLING AND PAIN, WITH SOME RESIDUAL INSTABILITY THAT IS CAUSING OTHER SOFT TISSUE INFLAMMATION IN MY LEG. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE AN EXTERNAL KNEE BRACE TO ADDRESS THE INSTABILITY AND HAVE HAD A SPINAL STIMULATOR IMPLANTED TO ASSIST WITH THE PAIN. I RECENTLY RECEIVED ANOTHER SPECIALIST DIAGNOSIS ON (B)(6) 2024 INDICATING THAT I HAVE FLEXION AND EXTENSION MISMATCH THAT IS DUE TO OVER RESECTION OF THE POSTERIOR FEMUR IN THE FIRST SURGERY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE STRYKER IMPLANT WHEN USED WITH THE MAKO NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW OVER RESECTION OF BONE TO OCCUR,

Reported narrative: THE PATIENT HAD A PLANNED SINGLE POSITION LATERAL DECUBITUS SURGERY FOR PEDICLE SCREW FIXATION AND INTERBODY FUSION FROM L4-S1. ROBOTIC GUIDANCE WAS PLANNED FOR PLACEMENT OF PEDICLE SCREWS FROM L4-S1 (6 SCREWS) USING THE GLOBUS EXCELSIUS GPS SYSTEM. TWO SURGEONS TRAINED TO USE THE GLOBUS EXCELSIUS GPS SYSTEM, TWO GLOBUS REPS AND A VASCULAR SURGEON WERE PRESENT DURING THE PROCEDURE. THE ICT (INTRA-OPERATIVE REGISTRATION DEVICE (REFERENCE FRAME)) IS PLACED IN THE ILIAC CREST TO ASSIST WITH IMAGE MERGE. A DYNAMIC REFERENCE BASE (DRB (MOTION CHECKER)) IS ALSO PLACED IN THE ILIAC CREST AND ACTS AS SURVEILLANCE MARKER FOR REAL-TIME INTRAOPERATIVE ACCURACY. THE ROBOTIC SOFTWARE USES AN ALGORITHM TO REGISTER INTRAOPERATIVE FLUOROSCOPY SCAN IMAGES LEVEL BY LEVEL (AP & LATERAL) AND PERFORMS A 2D-3D MERGE WITH A PRE-OPERATIVE CT SCAN. THIS REGISTRATION IS INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES INDICATING THE INTENDED LOCATION OF SURGERY AND THE ACTUAL PATIENT POSITION IN THE O.R. MATCHES, THUS ENABLING THE ROBOT TO GUIDE SCREW PLACEMENT. IN THIS CASE, THE SOFTWARE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY PERFORMING THE INITIAL IMAGE MERGE AND REGISTRATION.
