Manufacturer Narrative

Section h10: (h3) the revision reported was likely the result of the glenoid baseplate not achieving long-term fixation, causing the compression screws to bear the joint load and eventually fracture.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation and adequate information was not provided to determine the root cause of the insufficient glenoid baseplate fixation.
