Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual examination of the returned product/provided pictures identified the returned taper has wear and damage on the connector that mates with the baseplate.The baseplate was not returned.Medical records/radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: initial anatomic alignment of the right shoulder reverse-type arthroplasty complicated by subsequent implant fracture and partial disassembly as noted with a linear metallic fragment.There is no evidence of implant loosening or abnormal radiolucency.There is slight malalignment as noted at the junction of the baseplate and glenosphere.No anatomic abnormality is noted.The presence of the linear metallic fragment and partial separation of the glenosphere and baseplate would require revision.The metallic fragment separation could result in the reported metallosis.Review of the device history record(s) identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.The reported event is confirmed by mmi review.If any further information which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
