Event Description
|
During the delta xtend reverse shoulder replacement we had trouble getting the glenosphere implant attached to the metaglene base plate.When we inspected the base plate after, it appeared to be cross threaded.We then tried a new glenosphere and we then couldn't get this to attach either.We then removed the metaglene base plate and implanted a new one as the thread in the metalglene must have been cross threaded too.After the new metaglene was implanted we then implanted the second glenosphere successfully (which has the same lot number as the one which we failed to implant) to the base plate.The same screws were used.The implants which were not implanted are being decontaminated and will be returned for inspection.The surgeon mentioned that it may have been an alignment issue.
