During a dleta xtend (reverse shoulder replacement) procedure, prof vrettos had difficulty engaging the thread of the 42mm glenosphere into the thread of the metaglene.After inspection of the glenosphere, he noticed that the thread was damaged, he then tried to use the 38mm glenosphere but this too wouldn't engage properly which meant the thread in the metaglene was damaged.He then opted to remove the metaglene and insert a new one and then use a new new 42mm glenosphere.This then worked.Whether the thread was damaged due to surgical error or not, this is unknown.Prof vrettos has done many of these operations and he has said that this has only happened once before, many years ago.Patient consequence? :yes.Patient consequence description:extend operating time by 30mins.Action taken for procedure:new implants were ordered and delivered.Is the information being submitted for this complaint all the details that are known/available regarding this event? : yes.
