Humeral component (not revised at previous revision) was found to be extremely well fixed. Humeral poly insert removed - significant wear noted (only been insitu since (b)(6) 2026 revision). Proximal humeral vertical osteotomy was required to loosen and to break the bone / implant ongrowth. Stem eventually removed; osteotomy cabled back together with Nice Loops. Multiple tissue specimens collected; debridement; copious lavage attended; no antibiotic spacer implanted - gleno-humeral joint left dis-articulated.Plan - antibiotic regime until clinical markers indicate no infection, then the 2nd stage revision will be undertaken, using a "Custom Glenoid", to be manufactured by a competitor company."
