Medtronic Infuse Bone Graft
Reportedly, the Medtronic Infuse bone graft can lead to serious complications when it is used in unapproved procedures. The protein has only been FDA-approved for use in lower spine repair surgery to promote bone growth, and when used in cervical spine (upper spine and neck) surgery, may put the patient at risk for Infuse bone graft complications. Infection, cyst formation, male infertility and death are among the serious Medtronic infuse problems reportedly associated with the product.
