Event or Problem Description
The patient had primary right shoulder surgery using competitor products.On (b)(6) 2024, the patient was revised with medacta products.Presently, on (b)(6) 2025, the patient came in due to instability.The surgeon found ~40-50cc of gray fluid consistent with metallosis.The glenosphere screw was found to be loose, and abundant metallosis debris at the glenosphere/baseplate interface.The baseplate was found to be loose in the glenoid, and due to the cavity left behind from the baseplate post, the cavity was filled with cancellous bone chips and dbm putty.The surgeon converted the patient to a hemiarthroplasty with plans for the patient to return for a revision.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation performed by r&d project manager: the presence of metallosis and the provided description suggest relative movement between the glenosphere and the baseplate, in addition to the described baseplate mobilization.The x-ray shows radiolucent lines behind the baseplate backsurface and around the central post, which is in line with the described baseplate mobilization.The provided pictures do not show any particular unexpected sign.Given the information at hand, it is not possible to determine the root cause of the event.No action is suggested.Additional information: - h11 investigation performed by r&d project manager.
