Event or Problem Description
|
|
During a revision surgery, larger glenosphere and poly implants were used to address chronic dislocation in the patient's shoulder joint.It's likely that the teeth of one of the instruments, specifically the glenosphere removal tool, were bent prior to the surgery, as they were observed to be slightly bent from the outset.The glenosphere and poly implants were tornier products.However, it's important to note that the revision surgery was not due to faulty implants but rather instability issues.The surgical procedure encountered difficulties initially due to the damaged instrument but proceeded smoothly after switching to another set of instruments.
