The reported event could be confirmed, since the x-rays provided confirm the loosening of the device.This conclusion was verified by a medical expert upon review of the patient's case documentation.The opinion of the medical expert state as following: "loosening of the glenoid component is visible by the formation of bony cysts, radiolucencies around the glenoid implant¿s location.Also, loosening was confirmed intraoperatively by the surgeon.The reason associated with the formation of cysts and radiolucencies is the polyethylene wear over a period of 9 years (2013-2022).Polyethylene particles trigger an inflammatory response at the bone/implant interface that causes bone resorption and eventually loosening of the implant." more detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
