Encore Medical is recalling certain revision hip implants because loose bolts could cause pain or require additional surgery. This affects patients who received the specific model numbers listed in the recall.
Loose proximal body bolts can become dislodged during use, leading to pain or the need for revision surgery. X-rays have shown bolts sitting above the hip joint instead of being properly seated.
Patients who received the recalled revision hip implants are most at risk. The recall applies to those who had the specific model numbers listed in the notice.
Check if your hip implant has model numbers 495-00-065, 495-00-075, 495-00-085, 495-01-065, 495-01-075, or 495-01-085. All lots of these models are affected.
Identify the model number on your hip implant to see if it matches the recalled numbers.
