Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a male patient, initial left shoulder implanted, date unknown, underwent a revision procedure.The patient¿s tray and poly were revised due to instability.The xray showed the tray right up against the glenosphere, (metal on metal), so the poly had become dislodged.The +0 tray and 38mm +0 constrained liner were swapped for a new +0 tray with a 38mm +2.5 constrained liner.There were no device breakages or surgical delays.The patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.X-rays were unable to be obtained.The explanted devices are not able to be returned as the hospital does not allow it.Device images were provided.No further information.No other patient information/medical history reported.
