On 04/24/2024, it was reported by a sales representative via email that an ar-9561-20s univers revers modular glenoid system central screw did not acquire the purchase on an ar-9560-24 univers revers modular glenoid system modulas baseplate.They fused together when attempting to remove the central screw, so the surgeon has to remove the baseplate as well.The case was completed with a different baseplate and central screws.This was discovered during a reverse total shoulder procedure on (b)(6) 2024.Additional information received on 4/29/2024: the procedure was completed using a new ar-9560-24 arthrex univers revers modular glenoid system modulas baseplate and an ar-9561-30s univers revers modular glenoid system, central screw.The case was delayed as the surgeon had to remove the faulty implants and insert the new ones.
