Manufacturer Narrative
|
Product complaint # (b)(4).It was confirmed that the wear that was caused by the grade 4 scapular notching affected the polyethylene humeral cup and the inferior screw (only).Given that medical literature considers that a primary cause of scapular notching is the non-anatomic physical contact of the humeral cup against the inferior scapula bone during normal rsa shoulder function, resulting in notching of the bone, with eventual contact of the humeral cup with the inferior metaglene screw if left unaddressed, it is reasonable to consider the screw wear noted in this case as entirely secondary to the wearing caused by the humeral cup.The follow-up confirmed that only the inferior screw was affected by the humeral cup wearing through the scapula.Therefore, only the humeral cup will be reported for this adverse event.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial medwatch, a follow-up medwatch will be filed as appropriate.
