Additional information: g3, h3, h6 complaint allegation is not confirmed.Based on the information provided, which may include the device (if available and returned), pictures, videos, event description, and any additional information from the field, arthrex was able to conclude a most likely cause.Per surgical technique univer revers modular glenoid system - screw angulation - note: the screw angulation of nonlocking (variable-angle) and locking screws changes slightly based on the chosen baseplate.For specific angles, reference the chart.The most likely cause for the reported failure can be attributed to user error due to misaligned insertion and/or excessive mechanical forces during use.
