Recalled Products

Reason

Zimmer is amending a current recall (Recall no. 78209) to include additional devices affected by this action, after determining that the uni-holed configuration does not have an option for supplemental fixation, which was part of the exclusion criteria to bound the scope of the filed action. Affected devices may be slightly below the lower range of the specification for porosity.
