During application of a halo fixation system, the halo crown is fixed with 4 pins to the skull. One of these pins got wedged into the crown up to the point where not adequate fixation could be archived. As to how this event was solved is not exactly known yet. I can speak to the treating hcp next week. There was additional anesthesia needed for the skin of the patient and the procedure was lengthened. How much the procedure was lengthened is known at this time. The product as available for examination. This event is not uncommon to this user. Update 06 july 2016 - it seems that the threads in the ring are not correctly cut, as the pin jammed immediately in the ring.
