Howmedica Osteonics Corp. (Stryker) is recalling 55 units of its Exeter V40 Stems, which are orthopedic hip implants. This recall was issued because packages labeled as one size/model may actually contain a different size/model, potentially causing a mix-up. This issue may also affect the patient labels used for surgical records.
If a surgeon selects an implant based on incorrect packaging labels, the patient may receive the wrong size device. This could lead to surgical delays, patient injury, or the need for future revision surgery to correct the error.
