Event Description
|
As reported, the patient had an initial right tsa on (b)(6) 2021.No traumatic event reported.The patient complained of pain & clicking during ambulation of the shoulder.Images indicated that the stem had loosened as a small area of lucency was observed around the stem.The humeral head & torque screw were removed.The stem was observed to be loose & removed from the humeral shaft by pulling on the replicator plate.The glenoid component was observed to be well-fixed & the integrity of the subscapularis was evaluated.The surgeon determined that the atsa construct was still appropriate given the favorable strength of the subscapularis.A 8mm x 175mm revision stem was cemented in the humeral shaft.A new 4.5mm offset replicator plate, torque screw, & humeral head component were implanted.Then, the subscapularis was repaired.There was no reported breakage of a device or surgical delay/prolongation.The patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.
