Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a 78 yo male patient, initial right shoulder implanted on (b)(6) 2019, underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2024, approximately 4 years 3 months post the initial procedure.The patient had progressive deterioration of their implant.The surgeon elected to remove the implants due to implant failure which were worn over time while in situ.The patient was revised to exactech devices.During the procedure, the surgeon was able to retain the existing stem and he revised the glenoid to a reverse construct.All pieces of the implant which were worn and fragmented were removed from the patient.There were no surgical delays during the procedure.The patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.No x-rays were provided.The explanted devices are available for return, device images were provided.No further information.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, c, d, e, g.The revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear and fracture of the caged glenoid component.The cause of glenoid wear and fracture cannot be conclusively determined but may be related to improper device orientation during implantation resulting in abnormal and/or unintended forces.Potential contributions of user or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed from the information provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
