Manufacturer Narrative
|
H3: the glenoid loosening reported may have been the result of deterioration of the bond between the glenoid component and the bone after being implanted for over 10 years, which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening of the glenoid component.However, this cannot be confirmed because the component was not returned for evaluation.
