Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The revision reported was likely the result of disassembly between the humeral liner and humeral tray and subsequent migration of the humeral liner.The reported wear of the adapter tray and glenosphere was likely due to the migration of the liner and subsequent metal-on-metal articulation between the tray and glenosphere.The migration of the liner may have been the result of disassociation from the tray and internal forces in vivo.However, this cannot be confirmed and potential contributions from patient conditions, an unreported traumatic event, incomplete seating of the humeral liner during implantation, forceful contact between the liner and glenoid bone (scapular notching), or a combination of the above to the reported disassembly of the humeral liner cannot be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation and images/radiographs were not provided.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
