(b)(4).Updated: b4, b5, d2, d4 (exp date, udi), g3, h1, h2, h3, h6, h11.Reported event was confirmed as visual examination of the provided pictures identified the screws, baseplate, taper, glenosphere, and bearing have been explanted and are covered in biodebris.Two peripheral screws and one central screw have fractured.The liner appears to have abnormal wear as a result of the loosening, but it cannot be confirmed due to the biodebris remnants on the articulating surface.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: two views left shoulder demonstrate a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with fractured glenosphere screws with glenosphere directed superiorly.Glenohumeral dislocation.No bony fracture seen.Sizing is appropriate.Bony resorption of the glenoid is suspected but poorly seen and may have contributed to this failure.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.It was reported that the surgeon elected to use a bone graft during the initial procedure and the bone graft resorbed; therefore, the bone graft is a possible contributing factor to the reported issue.However, with the information available a definitive root cause cannot be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
