It was reported that this patient's shoulder was revised approximately 1 year 6 months post initial operation.It was suspected that the glenosphere screw had backed out.However, surgeon had found that the glenosphere screw had broken into the glenoid baseplate.The screw had subsequently backed out and wearing the humeral poly causing lysis.After removal, surgeon re inserted a long peg baseplate and new implants as the stem was well fixed.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 reason for the revision was likely due to fracture of the glenosphere locking screw leading to unintended contact with the liner and subsequent polyethylene wear.The reason for the fracture could not be determined from the information provided, but may be related to incomplete seating of the locking screw and/or partially disassembly of the device.However, this cannot be confirmed from the information provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
