Event Description
|
It was reported that during an initial reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the surgeon¿s placement of the glenoid baseplate was far more superiorly inclinated than anticipated.Subsequently, the glenoid components were removed, a femoral allograft and screw was placed, and the procedure was converted into a hemiarthroplasty.There was a 60 minute delay due to the glenoid implant being removed and the femoral allograft insertion.Once the patient¿s allograft has healed, another procedure will take place to correct the shoulder.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.
