Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected and additional information.Additional: h2, h6.Correction: b4, g4, g7, h10.Event description: it was reported that the patient was implanted with a trabecular metal reverse shoulder system on (b)(6) 2018 and revised on (b)(6) 2020 due to screw fracture causing the glenoid head to tilt upwards.Review of received data: - due diligence: no further due diligence required as all required information to support the conclusion is available or was already requested.- x-rays: no radiographs were obtained.- images: two images showing the retrieved components from different angles were obtained.The glenoid head, the metal base plate and two screws can be seen.The tip of one screw is missing as it has broken off.The trabecular metal shows some bone ingrowth.Otherwise, the parts seem inconspicuous.- patient data: no patient information is available.Product evaluation: - the screw was not returned; therefore, product investigation could not be performed.Review of product documentation: - device purpose: this device is intended for treatment.- product compatibility: the product combination was approved by zimmer biomet.- dhr review: review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Conclusion: it was reported that the patient was implanted with a trabecular metal¿ reverse shoulder system on (b)(6) 2018 and revised on (b)(6) 2020 due to screw fracture causing the glenoid head to tilt upwards.The bone structure and positioning of the implants as well as their changes during the time in vivo could not be assessed due to the lack of radiographs.The screw was not returned; therefore, product investigation could not be performed.The quality records show that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, the investigation did not identify a non-conformance or a complaint out of box (coob).In conclusion, since the positioning and the anchorage have a great influence on the performance of the screw, no cause of fracture could be determined due to the lack of radiographs and the unavailability of the fractured screw.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet¿s reference number of this file is (b)(4).
