Exactech recalls Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners for hip implants with specific catalog numbers and implant configurations that may cause premature wear in certain patients.
Risk of edge-loading and premature prosthesis wear is possible in a specific subset of patients with certain implant configurations and surgical implant positioning.
Exactech is recalling Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners used in hip implants. These liners could cause premature wear in specific patients with certain implant configurations and surgical positioning, potentially leading to earlier need for revision surgery.
The liners may experience edge-loading in certain patient anatomy and surgical setups, causing the liner to wear out faster than expected. This could lead to the need for revision surgery sooner than intended.
Patients who received the recalled Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners during hip surgery are likely affected. Those with specific implant configurations and surgical positioning are at higher risk for premature wear.
Check if your hip implant uses catalog numbers 130-22-XX, Novation GXL Neutral Liner, G00, 22mm ID. Look for the UDI-DI number 10885862021892 on the implant packaging or documentation.
Review your hip implant's catalog number, model, and UDI-DI number to confirm if it matches the recalled items.
The recall does not require immediate stop use; patients should check their implant details to see if they are affected.
