MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. has recalled 40 units of its EVOLUTION MP Femoral CS/CR Non-Porous knee replacement implants due to a packaging error where the wrong size and orientation of the device were found inside the box. One confirmed incident occurred where a surgeon opened a package labeled as a Size 4 Right femoral component only to find a Size 3 Left component inside. These specific implants are intended for cemented use in total knee replacement surgeries. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer to determine if their implant is affected.
If an incorrect size or side (left versus right) of a knee implant is used or discovered during surgery, it can lead to surgical delays, improper joint fit, or the need for additional surgical procedures to correct the error. This packaging mismatch could cause serious complications if the surgeon does not identify the discrepancy before attempting to implant the device.
