Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: d1, h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, c, d, g.The revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear of the polyethylene glenoid body.The wear through the glenoid body may have led to metal-on-metal prosthesis wear between the humeral head and retained center cage resulting in metallosis in the surrounding tissue.However, prosthesis wear of the metal components could not be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation.Contributing factors to the glenoid failure could have been improper initial seating of the glenoid body during implantation resulting in eccentric loading; however, these and any other potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed from the provided information.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
