As reported, approximately 2 years post op initial left tsa, this 72 y/o male patient was revised.The patient originally had an exactech reverse shoulder implanted.At some point the glenosphere became disassociated from the baseplate.Another surgeon in (b)(6) il revised the shoulder implanting the above listed implants on (b)(6) 2021 at (b)(6)(captured in case: (b)(4).The baseplate and stem were not removed but screws were added and a new glenosphere and liner were implanted.After that case the glenoid baseplate became pulled out from the glenoid and was free floating in the shoulder based on xray.Surgeon scheduled a case to revise the shoulder to a hemi on (b)(6) 2023.During the case the surgeon exposed the humerus and removed both the liner and the +0 tray he then moved on to the glenoid where he was able to pull out the glenosphere including the baseplate and all screws.One screw had been broken off in the glenoid from a previous surgery or from when the glenoid component became loose.The broken screw was not retrieved and was left in the glenoid.Surgeon then implanted a 1.5 replicator plate (300-21-00 a197490) and 47 x 18 head (310-01-47 a373263).Surgeon did take 5 cultures to rule out infection, he closed and the checked stability and range of motion with both being good.Patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.Product no being returned, reason: "patient requested explanted implants".

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected/additional information.The following sections were corrected/added: b1, b2, b5, d1, d4 (remove all data from initial report - catalog number unknown), d6a (remove date-unknown), d8, g1, g4, h4 (remove date) h6: clinical code, medical device problem code, type of investigation, investigation findings and investigation conclusions.The revision reported was likely the result of loosening of the glenoid baseplate, and eventual migration of the construct from the glenoid bone.The contribution of the broken compression screw to the loosening cannot be determined because it is unclear when the fracture occurred.Potential contributions of user or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed, and the sequence of events cannot be determined because the revised components were not returned for evaluation and no images or serial radiographs were provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
