Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

The firm has received reports/complaints concerning the breakage of the tips of the locking femoral Impactor. Additionally, if the impactor is not seated correctly on the implant prior to impaction, this may cause off axis loading which can increase the risk of device failure. This could cause a delay in surgery. If the tip is not seen during surgery, long term risks may include an inflammatory response, infection, and/ or pain
