The Cathcart Ball has an inherent +5mm offset which is not currently specified in its Instructions for Use or Surgical Technique Guide. The STG has been updated to reflect the clarification that the +5mm offset should be taken into consideration when using a Cathcart head in a construct for hemi-hip arthroplasty procedures.

System software v1.5.1 has a system software issue related to the Daylight Savings Time (DST) change that can cause a system error, requiring the user to restart the system and potentially cause a delay in treatment

The taper dimensions may be out of specification due to a production issue during the manufacturing of these lots.

Certain Pinnacle Cup devices may potentially exhibit an oversized "minor diameter", which could lead the Apex HE to thread through the shell of the cup without stopping or to protrude internally as a result of "cross-threading". If cross-threading occurs, physicians will not feel the positive stop of the Apex HE against the cup.

The device will not connect to the Specialist 2 Locating Outrigger which renders them unusable in surgery.

Increased punch height, causing a 0.063 in (1.6 mm) gap between the trial and the instrument. This may cause the surgeon to select an insert that is too thin. Surgical delay may result if the punch dislodges from the inserter and needs to be removed from the joint space. Insert Dislocation or Spin Out, or Poor Joint Mechanics may result, if not noted during surgery. May require revision surgery.

DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. is initiating a voluntary recall of select lots of the Specialist 2 Intramedullary Rod 400mm Instrument (PN 96-6120) due to complaints of the rod fracturing and leaving a portion of the rod in patients.

Potential for the Balseal, a small wire spring coil located on the post feature of the ATTUNE Knee Tibial Articulation Surface Instruments used in trialing to become damaged and disassociate (come off). If the Balseal is separated from the post, it has the potential to enter the surgical site and be left in the patient if the surgeon is unaware of the disassociation.

The LCS COMPLETE RPS Knee System has higher rates of revision in Australia when the native patella is not resurfaced when compared to other unresurfaced PS implants. If the LCS COMPLETE RPS Knee System is implanted and the native patella is not resurfaced, the patient may experience patello-femoral pain, potentially requiring a secondary procedure.

Two complaints reported that the BIOLOX delta TS Ceramic Femoral Articul/eze12/14 36mm +12 Head (product code 1365-36-740) did not fit like the trial; the definite hip construct felt loose. The loosening refers to tissue tension and not the taper connection between the femoral head and stem. The investigations found that the small size sleeve (+1.5 femoral head offset) was incorrectly used in the

Knee implant femoral devices were found to have anomalous microstructure. Porosity and the presence of blocky carbides, within the cobalt chrome part, can decrease the overall fatigue strength. This decrease in strength could cause implants to fracture under what would normally be acceptable loads.
