Event or Problem Description
|
|
Revision of a delta xtend due to infection, loosening, and periprosthetic fracture (which appeared to have healed).Upon exposure it was very clear that the infection was widespread and was affecting all components.All components were removed and a cement spacer was implanted while the infection clears.Primary surgery was done on (b)(6) 2016.Female, right side.Prior to this the patient had a proximal humeral fracture.I can't recall the exact date.This was addressed using a proximal humeral plate which subsequently failed leading to the delta xtend in 2016.The patient had fractured just distal to the humeral stem, but by the time the revision was booked it appeared to have healed.Stem was loose.Loosening was mostly attributed to infection.The periprosthetic fracture was talked about being a contributing factor to loosening.All components were removed and a spacer was cemented in.
