Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported a patient had an initial left total anatomical shoulder arthroplasty on an unknown date with unknown products.Approximately one (1) year and nine (9) months ago, the patient was revised to a comprehensive reverse total shoulder arthroplasty due to glenoid loosening and failed rotator cuff.Subsequently, the patient had fallen approximately one (1) year and four (4) months post-implantation and then began to have pain.Radiographic imaging displayed malalignment of the glenosphere, fractured screw, lucency around the inferior locking screw, radio-dense bodies superior in the joint, and likely bony fragments inferiorly.Approximately one (1) month ago, the patient underwent a revision where a little bit of metallosis of the soft tissue around the joint capsule was encountered and the central screw was fractured.Cancellous allograft was implanted and the patient was converted to a hemiarthroplasty with plans for a possible revision in the future.
