This case was very complicated, a very bleeding patient with very difficult exposure, in addition to being our first shoulder prosthesis (both mine and elen's).02 ¿glenosphere¿ implants were opened, not by mistake, but due to a possible defect.The first one to be opened, the choice of the doctor was number 42.But it turned in false, not adapting to the metaglena implant.The doctor spent 34 minutes trying to implant the same.Surgeon reported that this had never happened, and that he found it very strange that the implant was spinning in false.After several attempts, we found that the thread pitch was flawed, not at the ends, but at the half of the ¿thread¿.The surgeon then requested the size 38 glenosphere, and it fit perfectly without any effort, rotating normally and fixing on the first attempt.The incident was reported to the representative débora at the end of the surgery, and the implant in question was separate to be collected.
