It was reported that the patient underwent an additional revision surgery approximately eight (8) months after the previous one due to disassociation of the taper adapter from the vrs component.During the revision, it was noted that the central screw appeared to not be seated, which prevented the glenosphere from being fully engaged.The screw was exchanged and a new glenosphere and taper adapter were implanted.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
