Visual inspection performed by r&d project manager the glenosphere does not present any signs of damage, nor on the articular surface and the backsurface.This excludes that any interference with the glenoid screws occurred.The baseplate taper is massively damaged, likely due to friction with the glenosphere following implant dissociation.The glenosphere screw presents signs of damage and discoloration on the outer surfaces and the thread, compatible with friction with the glenosphere following implant dissociation.One glenoid screw (04.01.0159) does not have signs of damage, while the other one (04.01.0163) has two broken head prongs.This may have occurred during the screw removal.It was reported that the glenosphere guide was not used during the surgery.This may have caused the glenosphere malposition on the baseplate taper and subsequent mobilization.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affiars director.Revision surgery 2 years and 1 month from the primary rsa due to dissociation between the baseplate and the glenosphere.From the radiographic images the glenosphere appears rotated (eccentricity upwards) since few months after primary.According to report, metallosis is present both on the glenoid and on the humeral side, indicating repeated sliding movements between the components.Since the glenosphere guide was not used during the primary surgery, it may be possible that the glenosphere was not fully seated on the baseplate taper.For instance, the central screw may give the impression of a good tightening but the morse taper at the perimeter of the baseplate is not correctly engaged and with time the two implants may dissociate.Batch review performed on 26 jul 2024.Lot 2116432: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 08-mar-2022.Expiration date: 2027-02-22.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, all items of the same lot have been sold with no similar reported event during the period of review.Additional component involved in the event: batch review performed on 26 jul 2024 reverse shoulder system 04.01.0170 glenosphere 39xø24.5 (k170452) lot 2115425: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 28-febr-2022.Expiration date: 2027-02-15.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, 110 items of the same lot have been sold with another similar reported event during the period of review.
