Smith & Nephew is recalling five LEGION OXINIUM Constrained Femoral Component knee implants because of a labeling error where the size listed on the outside of the package does not match the implant inside. Specifically, a package labeled as Size 4 contained a Size 3 implant. This error was discovered after a complaint was received, though no injuries have been reported. The recall affects units sold to surgical facilities in Texas, as well as several international locations.
If an incorrectly sized implant is used during surgery, it may result in a poor fit or surgical delays while a correctly sized replacement is located. If the mismatch is not identified before implantation, the patient may require additional revision surgery to correct the issue.
