LINK STEM with Microporous Surface MP Reconstruction recall

LINK STEM with Microporous Surface MP Reconstruction Prosthesis, CEMENTLESS (Size XS-0, D: 12mm, L: 160mm), Reference Number 172-916/12 Product Usage…

Why was LINK STEM with Microporous Surface MP Reconstruction recalled?

The reaming guide and the guide rod can't be screwed into the intended depth. The reason for this is a reduced depth of the core hole in the stem. A reaming guide that is not screwed in completely may lead to a proximal preparation in the depth that is not sufficient and to a neck that can't be positioned correctly. The correct fit of the neck can't be verified by means of the guide rod.
