Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being filled to relay investigation updated result.Review of received data (in addition): x-ray analysis: summary of imaging: ap and axillary views of the right shoulder labeled 3 month, 1 year, 2 year and 5 year.Assessment of imaging: right shoulder surface replacement arthroplasty has been performed.On all sets of images, the alignment is maintained without subluxation or dislocation.There are no fractures.The bones are osteopenic on all images.The 3 month images show no abnormality.The 1 year images show minimal new lucency at the superior bone-metal interface consistent with osteolysis.The 2 year images show further interval increase in size of this small focus of osteolysis.The 5 year images show minimal further increase in size of the area of osteolysis.There is no evidence of component loosening on any images.Small focus of osteolysis at the superior bone-metal interface of the humeral surface arthroplasty implant as noted.Overall fit and alignment are anatomic.Bone quality on all images is osteopenic.There is progressive radiolucency along the superior bone-metal interface of the humeral implant reflecting osteolysis as described.There is no radiographic evidence of loosening or wear.There is no malalignment.Patient anatomy is unremarkable but the bones are osteopenic.There is progressive osteolysis as noted.No subsidence, subluxation, or corrosion is present.Conclusion (updated): it was reported that the patient was implanted with sidus implants on (b)(6) 2013.The patient reported continued pain affecting daily living at 1, 3, and 5 year visits with decreased range of motion and difficulty with adl (activities of daily living).The patient takes place in the crf study sidus_e1201 with patient id 7.Medical history of patient includes post-traumatic avascular necrosis of the right shoulder.Review of the surgical notes showed that the patient suffered of a post-traumatic humeral head necrosis condition after open reposition, plate osteosynthesis, arthrolysis and ie.The surgical notes revealed massive sclerotic alteration on the humeral head.Additionally, also the glenoid showed sclerotic alteration and extensive cartilage alteration, which led to the implantation of a hemiprosthesis.After the pre-operative performed arthrolysis, a circular release of the capsule in terms of a 270° arthrolysis was performed intraoperatively.The final x-ray control showed correct position of the implants.However, a clear ad axim displacement due to the previous trauma is mentioned as well.The study notes report patient visits at the day of implantation and the follow-up visits at 3 months, 1 year and at 5 years post implantation.The patient missed the 6 months' visit.Review of the study notes in terms of usage of pain killers and pain score showed that over the course of the 5 years' post-op the patient experienced a dramatic improvement in pain 3 months after the surgery, followed by a worsening until 1-year post-op, followed by a slight improvement until 2 years' post-op at which level the pain remained until 5 years post-op.Regarding the range of motion, the patient experienced an improvement regarding forward and lateral elevation.However, the external and internal rotation could not be improved by the surgery.The x-ray assessment did not show any radiolucency, osteolysis, atrophy nor any hypertrophy over the first two years post-op.The 5-year follow up showed radiolucency and osteolysis of 4 mm, but no atrophy and no hypertrophy.The shoulder was never reported to suffer from instability over the 5 years of follow-up.The review clearly showed that the patient must have experienced a heavy trauma, which also influences the outcome of the implantation in regards to implant fit, positioning and restoration of the joint biomechanics.The received x-rays show progressive radiolucency along the superior bone-metal interface of the humeral implant reflecting osteolysis.There is no radiographic evidence of loosening or wear.There is no malalignment.The patient anatomy was found to be unremarkable but the bones are osteopenic.These findings correlate with the study reports that mention a good implant fit, with respect to the patient's pre-op condition.Further, the review of the received documents did not reveal any indication for a device related factor that is in direct relation to the pain and the limited range of motion that the patient experienced.Further, the quality records showed that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, we assume the patient's comorbidity due to the post-traumatic avascular necrosis as the most likely root cause for the reported course of events.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet¿s reference number of this file is (b)(4).
