Manufacturer Narrative

(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of insufficient fixation between the implants and the bones and patient-related conditions, including multiple procedures/revisions on the involved shoulder, which led to aseptic (non-infected) humeral and glenoid loosening and subsequent compression screw fracture.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.Section h11: the following sections have corrected information: (h6) medical device problem code: 4002, loosening of implant not related to bone-ingrowth.
