Limacorporate recalls SMR TT Hybrid glenoid implants without tantalum markers. Without markers, doctors may misjudge implant position during X-rays, risking improper joint alignment.
Shoulder glenoid fossa prosthesis was manufactured without tantalum markers so in the absence of the markers, on already implanted devices, a correct radiographic assessment of the hybrid glenoid position can be performed by the evaluation of the joint space, central TT peg position and cement mantel observation.
Limacorporate is recalling a specific type of shoulder implant (SMR TT Hybrid glenoid Std - Peg S) because it lacks tantalum markers. This means doctors might misjudge the implant's position during X-rays, potentially leading to improper joint alignment if not corrected.
The implant lacks tantalum markers that normally help doctors see its position on X-rays. Without these markers, doctors might misjudge the implant's location and alignment, which could lead to improper joint function if not corrected.
Patients who received this specific shoulder implant model are affected. Surgeons and medical staff who use the implant are at higher risk during post-surgical imaging.
Check for the model name 'SMR TT Hybrid glenoid Std - Peg S' and reference number 1379.59.210 on the implant. The implant was sold between 2027 and 2027 (expiration date: 2027-04-30).
