(h3) the revision reported may have been due to an insufficient bond between the cage glenoid component and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) glenoid loosening, improper implantation during the index surgery, or a combination of the two, which resulted in the cage glenoid¿s pegs not being in the proper orientation.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.
