Tornier, Inc. is recalling 38 units of the Stryker Tornier Perform Humeral System, Reversed Insert (45%) used in shoulder replacement surgeries. The recall was initiated because one specific lot may contain a locking ring that was assembled upside down. This manufacturing defect prevents the humeral insert from securely seating into the stem or spacer during surgery or afterward. Consumers should contact their surgeon or healthcare provider to determine if their implant is part of the affected batch.
If the locking ring is installed incorrectly, the humeral insert cannot be properly secured. This can lead to the implant components shifting or becoming loose, potentially requiring additional surgical procedures to correct the issue.
