On 4/04/2023, it was reported by a sales representative via email that an ar-9100-08p univers ii humeral stem 8mm had an inclination screw locked in position when opened.The case was completed successfully by using a bigger size (9) primary stem.This was discovered during a reverse total shoulder procedure, with no patient harm.Additional information received on 4/05/2023: the locked inclination screw was discovered during implantation.The glenoid fracture was caused by screwing the glenosphere to the base plate.Additional information received on 4/5/2023: the faulty ar-9100-08p arthrex univers ii humeral stem 8mm was discovered prior to implantation.The surgeon had originally planned for an rsa procedure but due to a fracture of the glenoid while screwing in the ar-9560-24-2 baseplate and an ar-9564-2433-lat glenosphere.It was not caught until the glenosphere was inserted and the entire baseplate rotated and shifted.The surgeon proceeded by removing the glenosphere with a removal device and the baseplate was pulled out by hand.The case was completed using an ar-9100-09pc arthrex univers ii stem, size 9.Additional information received on 4/6/2023; the procedure was delayed 2 hours and additional anesthesia was administered to the patient.Even though a size 9mm stem was used to complete the case, the surgeon did not need to broach the canal larger.Instead, the ar-9100-09pc arthrex univers ii stem, size 9 was implanted slowly allowing the bone to expand before the final impaction.The surgeon is planning on a revision surgery but has not been scheduled yet.
