Knee Implant Component Recalled for Risk of Early Aseptic Loosening
Linkbio Corp. is recalling the LINK SLED Knee System tibial component due to risk of early aseptic loosening and increased wear caused by suboptimal implant positioning or inadequate cementing technique.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving risk of implant failure (aseptic loosening and accelerated wear) that could require revision surgery. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported. Per the rubric, this qualifies as High because it is a risk-of-harm medical device where injury has not yet been reported, but the potential outcome (revision surgery) is clinically significant.
Plain-English summary
Linkbio Corp. is recalling the LINK SLED Knee System POREX ENDO MODEL SLED TIBIAL COMP (13 MM X 55 MM, Item Number 15-2230/12). Five units of this orthopedic implant component have been distributed.
The implant may experience early aseptic loosening or accelerated wear due to suboptimal positioning or inadequate cementing technique during surgery. These issues can result in an unsatisfactory surgical outcome and may necessitate revision surgery earlier than expected.
