Additional information received on 11 july 2018: the first case was done with not medacta product and the inferior screw was implanted as requested in the st (mandatory screw).The implant mobilization and lack of osseointegration could be due to the important bone defect that it had after removing the cemented glenosphere.Visual inspection performed by r&d product manager on 14 june 2018 no sign of osseointegration was noticed on the backsurface of the threaded baseplate.This fact may have increased the risk of mobilization of the glenoid construct.The absence of osseointegration may be due to the component being originally implanted with a bone graft on a glenoid with a massive defect.The reverse surgery was indeed a revision of an anatomic implant from another company.The other inspected implants to not present details of any concern.
