Event Description
|
Whilst screwing on the size 42 standard glenosphere, the surgeon could not engage the thread into the metaglene and initially believe the 3.5 cannulated screwdriver head was cross threaded.Due to multiple attempts, the surgeon then requested the size 42 eccentric glenosphere as the standard glenosphere had stripped its internal screw thread.The same problem was encountered with the 42 eccentric glenosphere.Surgeon believed it wasn't essentially the screwdriver but the metaglene and that it was not allowing the glenosphere screw to engage with it.The standard metaglene and screws was then removed and replaced with a 10+ metaglene and longer locking screws (changed from 2 x 36 locking screws to 2 x 42 locking screws) and leaving the same 2 x 18 non locking screws.The 42 eccentric metaglene was then replaced and there was no issues with the cannulated screwdriver when screwing it into the new metaglene.Surgeon believe it was the metaglene (standard initially used) that was the cause of the glenospheres not engaging.Both standard metaglene and 42 standard glenosphere will be cleaned by the hospital so they can be returned for investigation.Surgery was delayed 30 minutes due to this incident.
