Spine Implant Complications
Known issues with spinal devices.
Ectopic Bone Growth
Infuse BMP causes bone to grow in unwanted areas, compressing nerves and spinal cord. Common in cervical off-label use.
Nerve Damage / Radiculopathy
Excessive bone growth or device migration can compress nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in arms or legs.
Failed Fusion / Pseudoarthrosis
The spinal bones fail to fuse together, causing continued instability, pain, and need for revision surgery.
Infection
Surgical site infections around the implant may require removal and extended antibiotic treatment.
Device Migration
Artificial discs, cages, or screws may move from their original position, causing pain and further complications.
