Novosource, LLC has recalled one unit of the NovoHip Biolox Ball Head 32mmL, a component of the NovoHip Total Hip System. This specific unit was packaged in a box labeled as a 32mm long head but actually contained a 28mm long head. If this incorrectly sized component is used during a hip replacement surgery, it could lead to the joint becoming unstable or failing to function correctly. Consumers should contact their surgeon or healthcare provider if they have concerns about a recent hip replacement involving this system.
The mismatch between the label and the actual device size may lead a surgeon to implant a 28mm head when a 32mm head was intended. This incorrect sizing can cause joint instability, potentially requiring additional surgery to correct the alignment and secure the hip joint.
