Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported a patient underwent a left reverse shoulder arthroplasty approximately five years ago.While pushing on a tire, the patient felt the shoulder pop.The patient was revised where the humeral baseplate was broken.During the revision the baseplate was found to be dislocated posteriorly and noted to have sheared at the junction of the peg and plate, with the peg still attached within the humeral stem.Medical records indicate the stem was well fixed to the humerus.In an attempt to remove the broken pieces from the stem, the stem dislodged from the humerus.The stem, tibial tray, and bearing were all revised without complication.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
