Event Description
|
This 76 year old, male patient presented to the hospital with a dislocated right shoulder.The patient consented to revision surgery, having previously had a total shoulder replacement for trauma.The surgeon discovered that the trauma stem was retroverted more than usual, which explained the dislocation.Microbiology samples were taken and the 0mm humeral tray and 0mm humeral liner were removed and replaced with a new 0mm humeral tray and a 5mm humeral liner.The surgeon was unable to reattach the greater trochanter, so left it.The shoulder was stable and secure.There was no reported breakage of devices or surgical delay/prolongation.The patient was last known to be instable condition following the event.No other patient information/medical history reported.The devices are not returning as the hospital will not allow implants to be desterilized for return.
