It was reported that, during a reverse shoulder arthroplasty surgery, a 4.5mm center screw 25mm was initially used but failed to achieve compression of the far cortex.The 25mm screw was then backed out, the bone was redrilled and a 4.5mm center screw 30mm was selected.The screw spun, but did not receive purchase of the far cortex of the glenoid vault resulting in loss of compression.The 30 mm screw was left in the construct and the procedure was completed after a non-significant delay.No injury was reported as a consequence of this issue.
