Tornier, Inc. is recalling one specific lot of its stryker Tornier Perform Reversed Augmented Glenoid Lateralized Baseplates (Model REF DWJ502) because 30 units were manufactured with incorrect 6mm spacers instead of the required 3mm spacers. This manufacturing error prevents the central screw from properly threading into the baseplate during surgical procedures. These baseplates were distributed in 10 U.S. states including California, Colorado, and Massachusetts.
The use of an incorrect spacer size prevents the surgical screw from being secured to the baseplate, which could lead to surgical delays, improper implant fixation, or the need for additional medical intervention. No specific injuries have been reported in the recall data.
