Additional information: d9, g3, h3, h6.Complaint allegation is confirmed.One unpackaged ar-9561-30s univers revers¿ modular glenoid system, modular 30 mm central screw was received for investigation.Visual evaluation of the returned device noted that the internal hex where the baseplate connects was damaged.Functional testing was not performed due to the damage to the device.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error of the device due to applying excessive mechanical forces when assembling the mating devices.
