Wishbone Medical, Inc. is recalling 60 units of its WishFIX Growth Control Plating System, model TEFCS28-080US. These orthopedic devices were incorrectly packaged with a stainless-steel implant instead of the titanium implant specified on the packaging and part number. This manufacturing error could lead to the wrong material being surgically implanted into a patient. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer to discuss any concerns regarding these devices.
If a patient receives a stainless-steel implant instead of a titanium one, it can lead to adverse biological reactions, metal sensitivities, or complications if the patient requires specific imaging like an MRI. While no injuries have been reported, the use of incorrect materials in orthopedic surgery poses a moderate risk to patient safety.
