Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG is recalling approximately 164 units of various Endo-Model SL Connection Components and Replacement Plateaus used in joint implants. The recall was initiated because a specific plateau screw bushing may detach from the screw shaft due to a longitudinal fracture. This defect can lead to the failure of the implant connection, potentially requiring additional medical intervention or revision surgery.
The bushing could detach from the screw shaft if it fractures lengthwise, which may cause the internal components of the joint replacement to fail or loosen. No specific injuries were mentioned in the recall data, but such a failure typically leads to joint instability and the need for corrective surgery.
