  Alteon HA Femoral Stem, Press-Fit, Extended Offset, Cementless, HA Coated, Collared, Size 5 All Exactech Hip Systems are indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary surgery for hip replacement due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, post-traumatic degenerative problems of the hip, and for treatment of proximal femoral fractures where prosthetic replacement is determined by the surgeon as the preferred treatment. Components of Exactech Hip Systems are also potentially indicated for ankylosing spondylitis, congenital hip dysplasia, revision of failed previous reconstructions where sufficient bone stock is present, and to restore mobility resulting from previous fusion. Exactech Alteon HA femoral stems are intended for press-fit fixation.

  Potential compromise of the inner sterile tray. If a compromised tray is detected, a delay in surgery may result. If undetected breach in both the inner and outer trays were to occur, and there is contamination present, a periprosthetic infection is possible, which could lead to revision.

  Trident PSL HA Solid Back 50 mm Includes Dome Hole Plug Ref 540-11-50E Intended for cementless application in a total hip arthroplasty procedure. This system is a two piece ( a shell and a liner) design that is assembled during surgery. The shell is press-fit into the patients prepared acetabulum and a linger (polyethylene or alumina ceramic) is then locked into the shell. The femoral head component of the total hip system articulates with the acetabular liner.

  Five customer complaints were received for the same batch of Trident PSL Shells (part number 540-11-50E lot 49073501) alleging that when the packages were opened there were no dome holes plugs present.

Designed for cementless use in total hip arthroplasty.

  Medacta USA is recalling Versafitcup Impacting Ring because the impaction ring may not fit properly in the implant shell in all cases. This could result in surgical delay potentially increasing possible complications under anesthesia, having to ream up to a larger shell size leaving less bone than planned and repositiong/removal of the shell after initial impaction.
