Biomet is recalling 23 Oxford Fixed Bearing Partial Knee implants due to a design flaw that may cause bone impingement.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a structural design defect in a medical device that poses a risk of harm (impingement) without reported injuries or fatalities.
Plain-English summary
Biomet, Inc. is recalling 23 units of the Oxford Fixed Bearing Partial Knee Cemented Lateral Tibia (REF 154237). These medical devices are partial knee replacement systems intended for use in the lateral compartment of the knee. The specific units involved are Size F5, made of ARCOM UHMWPE and CO-CR-MO Alloy, and are sterile.
The recall was initiated after a Biomet investigation found that the design of the tibial bearing creates the potential for anterior impingement between the bone and the poly bearing component in terminal extension. This design issue poses a risk of mechanical interference during knee movement.
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 who have received these specific implants should contact Biomet, Inc. for further instructions on management or replacement.
