It was reported that the patient had a complex revision history of a right reverse total shoulder arthroplasty including multiple periprosthetic fracture repairs and mrsa infection in the joint.The patient underwent a revision approximately four (4) years and nine (9) months after the previous revision due to loosening of the srs implant over time.Furthermore, the surgeon requested a custom intercalary segment to be made to allow for previous segments to remain and attach the custom which would allow for a standard line distal humeral component to complete a total humeral construct.Since revision, the patient is doing well with pain and swelling has resolved.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
