Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint # : (b)(4).Followup information revealed there is a loss of rotator cuff muscles; given the current available information, it cannot be ruled out that there may potentially have been an injury to the rotator cuff during the primary implantation of total shoulder arthroplasty products.As such, understanding that there are number of possible steps within the procedure where such an injury could occur, an unknown shoulder implant will be reported to capture this event.The previously reported incident of the "unite proximal body was cold welded to the stem" was reported in error as this did not meet the definition of a malfunction.This product was reported in error.No patient death, serious injury or evidence of reportable product malfunction occurred.Depuy considers the investigation closed at this time.Should any additional information be received to change the outcome of the performed investigation, the complaint will be re-opened.
