It was reported during an eclipse total shoulder procedure, the surgeon sawed the humeral head off, put cap on the humerus and completed the glenoid without issue.When the surgeon came back to complete the humerus, the bone quality was very poor and the ar-9301-01 (lot: 18.01100) cage screw would not hold.Upon pulling out the cage screw it was noted that the screw was full of bone.The surgeon then switched to a longer cage screw (ar-9301-02 / lot: 18.01106) to get a deeper bite, but it pulled out as well.The rep stated at this point the surgeon was very upset, and decided to remove all implanted product and switch to an mgs reverse total shoulder.The rep reported no additional incisions were needed, just a different implant system was used to complete the procedure without further issue.The following products were first implanted, and then immediately explanted; ar-9301-01 / lot: 18.01100 - eclipse small cage screw, ar-9301-02 / lot: 18.01106 - eclipse medium cage screw, ar-9301-41cpc / lot: 18.01145 - eclipse trunnion size 41, ar-9121-01 / lot: 170139713 - glenoid inlay small, ar-9165-25nl / lot: 10221985 - central non-locking screw, ar-9145-36 / lot: 18.00586 - peripheral locking screw, ar-9145-24 / lot: 18.00585 - peripheral locking screw, ar-9165-25nl / lot: 10204555 - central non-locking screw (the rep stated screw was dropped on the floor and had to be wasted), ar-9120-01pc / lot: 17.01676 - revers glenoid.All removed products were discarded and will not be returning for evaluation.
