Event Description

It was reported the patient underwent an initial left total shoulder arthroplasty (tsa).On follow up it was noted that there was a displaced fragment of the lesser tuberosity of the humerus.Approximately 5 months after the initial tsa, an open reduction internal fixation (orif) was performed to repair the fracture.Operative records indicate that the humeral head and glenoid components were stable.Further, a 1.0 mm titanium competitor needle cable was passed through the bone tunnels created.The needle cable was passed around the lesser tuberosity fragment in a cerclage fashion and then the cable was threaded.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.
