Event or Problem Description
Dr (b)(6) put a baseplate dwd172 without any issue and added the screws.While trying to put the glenoid sphere, it was impossible to screw.After cleaning of the glenoid 4 times in a row, there was no improvement.The 4th time, when the sphere dwd180 was removed, it fell.The surgeon proposed the use of a dwd181 and faced the same issue.He tried again and while screwing, felt that the screw thread was apparently functioning correctly and at the last moment, there was a sudden jump.The surgeon concluded that the screw thread was defective.The surgery was completed with a 40 minutes delay and additional anesthesia.The 25 mm baseplate was removed and the surgeon used a 29 mm baseplate instead.
