As reported, it was suspected that the glenoid polyethylene had dissociated.Approximately 5 years and 8 months post the initial right total shoulder arthroplasty, the patient was revised and the findings showed that the poly had severe wear patterns that had caused lysis and metallosis.The surgeon said there has been no event to cause such wear.The patient had the glenoid removed and a jumbo hemi left in place.There was no reported breakage of a device or surgical delay/prolongation.The patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.
