But it could be neither of these things.
There’s a type of bone graft right now that’s under severe scrutiny: the Medtronic INFUSE® Bone Graft. If you were injured during a back or neck surgery, you may want to look into this product as a possible cause.
Basically, INFUSE® helps regrow bone during and after a surgery. It’s supposed to be used in specially-approved lower back surgeries. But 85% of the time, it’s being used off-label, in other surgeries like upper back and neck surgery.
When used incorrectly, this bone graft can actually overgrow the bone and cause severe damage:
- Suffocation
- Other respiratory injury
- Paralysis
- Infertility
- Death
When this happens, it might not be the fault of your doctor at all. The surgery might have gone perfectly. It’s the bone graft that’s causing the pain. It’s the bone graft that’s killing people.
