Request Category: Companies
| Question Number 1: I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding the use of specific bone void fillers in orthopedic procedures performed since January 1, 2021. If data is only available by either units acquired or procedures conducted, please specify which is provided. While pricing or cost data is not requested at this time, please confirm if such data exists should I choose to request it in the future. Specifically, I would like to request the following data in a monthly format, from January 2021 to the most recent available month: Product Usage Please provide the number of units acquired or used per month for each of the following products: Stimulan Genex Cerament BVF Cerament G Cerament V | |

| Question Number 2: Procedure Breakdown Please indicate how many procedures each of these products was used in, broken down by procedure category, for the same time period. In particular, please categorise procedures under the following headings (or closest applicable equivalents): Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis Other Orthopedic Procedures Format Request Ideally, the data should be presented in a matrix or tabular format, such as: Month Procedure Type Stimulan (Units / Procedures) Genex (Units / Procedures) Cerament BVF (Units / Procedures) Cerament G (Units / Procedures) Cerament V (Units / Procedures) Jan-21 Diabetic Foot Jan-21 Osteomyelitis Jan-21 Other Orthopedics | |
| Answer To Question 2: Information not stored in a reportable format. We do not record the bone void filler used on our electronic systems and it would take more than 18 hours to review the paper notes of over 2,200 patients recorded on the NJR over the past 4 years. In addition, there are other procedures which used bone void filler which are not logged on the NJR (Osteomyelitis and diabetic foot for example will not be on the NJR) which we would be unable to identify. Please see exemption notice attached. | |
