Event or Problem Description

|
Revision of a delta xtend for pain.The surgeon wanted to upsize the glenosphere from a 38 to a 42 and change the poly cup.Once the cup was removed the surgeon decided to removed the epiphysis as there was a lot of bone reabsorption indicative of an infection.He also observed that the glenosphere was loose.We observed that it was infected after removing the glenosphere as there was a lot of 'gunk' behind the glenosphere on the face of the metaglene.The screws and metaglene were well fixed.Stem was well fixed.Additional information received: date of implantation (primary surgery).Exact date unknown but it was in 2013.Product and lot number of the metaglene.Metaglene lot number unknown, but it was not removed as it was stable along with the screws.Please clarify what you mean by gunk behind the glenosphere on the face of the metaglene? by 'gunk' i mean there was tissue behind the glenosphere on the face of the metaglene which looked like infected tissue.
