Event or Problem Description
On 11/19/2021, it was reported by a sales representative via email that an ar-9100-08s humeral stem and ar-9154-21p humeral head were originally implanted on (b)(6) 2019.The glenoid aspect of the surgery seemed fine both during pre-op assessment as well as intra-op.About a year and a half after implantation, patient began to experience pain and discomfort, it looked as if the stem had subsided and it was loose.During the revision surgery on (b)(6)2021, samples were taken from both the joint space and canal area.All tests came back negative for infection, which leads to the issue being aseptic loosening.Once the stem was removed there was no bony on or ingrowth in the implant.Surgeon was able to replace both humeral stem and humeral head with an ar-9501-10p revers humeral stem, an ar-9501-fx10n revers fracture adapter, and an ar-9150-19p univers humeral head.
