Event or Problem Description

It was reported that, after an rsa surgery had been performed on (b)(6) 2025, the patient experienced a dislocation about 3.5 months post op, where the 38mm reverse liner +6 s had separated from the meta humeral stem size 2 s.This happened during an atraumatic event, while lifting an empty garbage can.This adverse event was treated by a revision surgery on (b)(6) 2025, in which it was determined that the stem was well fixated causing no concern, and that the glenoid side was in good shape, so neither device required revision.It was opted to explant the 38mm reverse liner +6 s, and a +9 small spacer and 38 +0 small liner were implanted.Current health status of the patient is unknown.
