Plain-English summary
Biomet, Inc. is recalling 26 units of the REF 154224 Oxford Fixed Bearing Partial Knee Cemented Lateral Tibia Size D6. These medical devices are partial knee replacement systems consisting of a femoral component and a fixed bearing tibial component intended for use in the lateral compartment of the knee.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (North Carolina, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio), Canada, and the Netherlands.
Healthcare providers and patients should contact Biomet for further instructions regarding the return or replacement of these devices.
