Plain-English summary
Linkbio Corp. is recalling the LINK SLED Knee System POREX ENDO MODEL SLED TIBIAL COMP (8 MM X 55 MM, Item Number 15-2230/15) due to risk of aseptic loosening and implant wear.

Early aseptic loosening or increased wear of the implant can result from suboptimal positioning or inadequate cementing technique during surgical implantation. These conditions can lead to an unsatisfactory surgical result and potentially require intervention or revision surgery earlier than expected.
Linkbio Corp. is addressing the issue through amendment and reinforcement of the surgical technique and updated product training to ensure proper implant positioning and cementing procedures.
