  • Causa
    Since the march 2012 notification zimmer has monitored the occurrence of non-compatible micro component combinations being implanted. this included the usage of micro femurs and micro patellae in addition to micro articular surfaces. although the occurrence has been reduced since the 2012 notification it has not been eliminated and therefore zimmer is initiating a recall to remove the affected devices [implants and provisionals (a reusable joint specific trial device used in orthopedic joint replacement to validate the proper size of the permanent prosthesis)] and prevent this issue from recurring.
