DePuy Orthopaedics recalls Global Unite STD Stem SZ 14 implants with potential undersized spigot bore diameter that could require surgical delay or bone damage during joint replacement procedures.
Stems may have an undersized spigot bore diameter therefore separating the proximal body from the stem may not be possible without surgical delay and/or bone damage
DePuy Orthopaedics is recalling Global Unite STD Stem SZ 14 hip implants due to a possible undersized spigot bore diameter. This could cause the stem to separate from the hip joint without surgical intervention, potentially requiring additional surgery or causing bone damage.
The stems may have an undersized spigot bore diameter that prevents the stem from securely attaching to the hip joint. If the stem separates without surgical intervention, it could require additional surgery or cause bone damage.
Patients who have received the Global Unite STD Stem SZ 14 hip implant with the specified product codes are affected. Those with this implant type are at risk of needing additional surgery or bone damage if the stem separates.
Check if your hip implant has the product code listed in the recall (110014100) and the specific lot numbers provided. This product was sold globally with the indicated product codes and lot numbers.
Verify if your hip implant matches the product code 110014100 and the listed lot numbers.
The recall does not require immediate discontinuation; however, you should check if your implant matches the product codes listed.
Contact DePuy Orthopaedics directly to confirm if your implant is affected and get guidance on next steps.
The recall states that separation without surgical intervention could require additional surgery or cause bone damage, but the risk is not immediate.
