  • Causa
    Tornier is informing users of the known risk potentially associated with over-expansion of the small-sized mopyc stem (ptr-s7) that can result in its postoperative fatigue fracture.Although the operating technique emphasises the fact that stem expansion should only be performed when rotation instability is observed in the shaft, tornier noticed that the stems which were subject to fracture were over-expanded. tornier is providing users with a surgical technique addendum to emphasise this key point of the operating technique and to avoid unnecessary stem expansion that may be harmful for the patient.
  • Acción
