Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual examination of the returned product/provided pictures identified a comprehensive reverse shoulder mini humeral tray (lot 65232426) was returned for evaluation.As returned, a poly bearing is assembled and locked into place.Visual examination found surface damage or scuffs on the tray.Medical records/radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: initial anatomic alignment of the right shoulder reverse-type arthroplasty complicated by subsequent implant fracture and partial disassembly as noted with a linear metallic fragment.There is no evidence of implant loosening or abnormal radiolucency.There is slight malalignment as noted at the junction of the baseplate and glenosphere.No anatomic abnormality is noted.The presence of the linear metallic fragment and partial separation of the glenosphere and baseplate would require revision.The metallic fragment separation could result in the reported metallosis.Review of the device history record(s) identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.If any further information which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
