Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported, approximately 1 month and 9 days post the first revision surgery, the patient presented back with continued issues with instability and pain.The patient underwent a second revision.The surgeon had issues with being able to get the torque screw out of the humeral stem and tray.It was not fully released from the stem, causing the humeral tray to spin circumferentially around the stem.The surgeon replaced the glenosphere with a lateralized one, kept the tray as it would not release from the stem, and implanted a constrained liner.There was a 5-15 minute delay.The patient did not experience any adverse events as a result of the delay.The surgeon felt he got a stable construct with the implants that he was able to exchange.He would have liked to be able to release the humeral tray from the humeral stem and spent some time trying to disengage the implants however was not able to get them to disengage.The patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, c, d.The reason for the revision reported may have been due to instability.However, the underlying cause of the instability cannot be determined from the limited information provided.The inability to remove the torque defining screw from the humeral stem may have been due to possible thread damage.However this could not be confirmed because the components remain implanted and no images or radiographs were provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
