Please note the corrections made to the device code and clinical signs code: the reported event was not confirmed since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidences were provided.The opinion of the medical expert was requested on this case despite the limited information provided and stated as following: "reading the subject information, i can confirm that the patient had a stress fracture of the acromion, and that this ae was resolved by rest and prp injection into the deltoid muscle.It is an ae that can be linked to the procedure, it is a well-known ae in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.It is not linked especially to either the humeral or glenoid device as such.In all cases of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty more stress is applied on the acromion as compared to anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, and this may lead to stress fractures of the acromion/scapular spine".More detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to clearly determine the root cause of the complaint event.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the lot number was not communicated.If any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
A patient presented with shoulder pain exacerbated by lying on the left side.Initial x-rays were inconclusive but indicated a suspected stress reaction due to deltoid tension.A bone scan on a later date, confirmed an acromial stress reaction.Treatment involved six weeks of sling use followed by physical therapy (pt), which did not alleviate symptoms.Another bone scan on the same day confirmed an acromial stress fracture.Pt continued, supplemented by a platelet-rich plasma (prp) injection to the deltoid.The adverse event resolved without further issues.
