Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. is recalling 6,250 units of Dynasty Liners, which are used with the Conserve metal head in total hip arthroplasty (THA) systems. The affected products include specific reference numbers ranging from DLCOGA28 to DLCOGK56, distributed worldwide including the United States, Canada, and numerous countries in Europe, Asia, and South America.

The recall was initiated because revision rate trends from the manufacturer's database indicate an increasing overall trend from 2009 to the present. Specifically, the data identified a hazard of suspected tissue reaction to metal debris exceeding one percent for modular head Conserve systems and Dynasty metal acetabular liner systems.

Patients who have received these specific implants should contact their healthcare provider to discuss the findings and determine if further evaluation or intervention is necessary. The recall covers specific serial numbers listed in the official FDA notice.
