Exactech recalls Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners for hip implants with specific catalog numbers and UDI-DI codes due to possible premature wear in certain patient configurations.
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. The recall is because these liners might wear out faster than expected in some patients with specific implant setups and surgical positioning.
The liners may experience edge-loading, which can cause them to wear out prematurely. This risk is higher in patients with certain implant configurations and surgical positioning that create uneven pressure on the liner.
Patients who received hip implants with Exactech Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners using catalog numbers 134-28-XX, Acumatch GXL, or Ext Cov Liner (28mm) are affected. Those with specific implant configurations and surgical positioning are at higher risk.
Check if your hip implant uses Exactech Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners with catalog numbers 134-28-XX, Acumatch GXL, or Ext Cov Liner (28mm). Look for UDI-DI numbers listed: 10885862023919, 10885862023926, 10885862023933, 10885862023940, 10885862023957, 10885862023964.
