Additional information received and states that: "when i spoke to the surgeon he was more concerned with the original implant positioning and suggested that was the reason for the patient pain and revision.On the x-ray the glenoid component appeared to have superior inclination.The unnatural wear on the poly suggests the implant was not articulating as it should have.".
