Waldemar Link is recalling hip stem trial instruments for patients with mobility-limiting conditions. The recall is due to increased force required to remove the stems after impaction, which could prolong surgery or require surgical modifications.
After impaction (when the hip stem becomes stuck), the LINK MP Monoblock trial stems may require more force to remove. This could lead to longer surgery times or the need to change the surgical approach.
Patients with mobility-limiting diseases, hip fractures, or joint defects who use these trial hip stems are most at risk. The recall affects specific sizes (14mm-25mm) sold in certain lots.
