Comprehensive Shoulder System Primary Shoulder Stem, Micro Length, Porous Plasma, 11 MM, 55 MM Long Item Number: 113611

Why was Comprehensive Shoulder System Primary Shoulder Stem recalled?

The products in scope underwent an incorrect rework operation for the porous plasma sprayed coating. Internal testing indicated that the parts may not have sufficient adhesion strength. The scope was identified to be all lots that were porous plasma coated or recoated at a vendor that were then reworked through the internal waterjet rework process. The waterjet rework process for porous plasma coating is not validated for products that were coated at a vendor.
