Linkbio recalls LINK SLED Knee System POREX ENDO SLED KNEE FEM COMP, LARGE (Item 15-2220/60) due to potential early implant failure from improper surgical technique.
Additional Label Warnings: Amendment / reinforcement of the Surgical Technique and future product training on the updated technique, due to early aseptic loosening or increased wear of the implant caused by suboptimal positioning of the implant or inadequate cementing technique leading to an unsatisfactory surgical result, and in the worst case, intervention or revision earlier than expected
Linkbio is recalling a specific knee implant model because poor surgical placement or cementing can cause early implant failure. This means the device might need revision surgery sooner than expected.
The implant can loosen or wear faster if not positioned correctly during surgery or if cementing isn't done properly. This may lead to the need for revision surgery earlier than planned.
Patients who received this knee implant during surgery between the product's launch and expiration date. Those with improper surgical technique or inadequate cementing are at higher risk.
