Plain-English summary
Exactech, Inc. is recalling 89,050 Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners used in hip replacement systems distributed nationwide in the United States. The recalled liners include Catalog numbers 130-32-XX (Acumatch GXL 0 Degree Liner, 32mm) and Novation GXL Liner (Neutral, 32mm).
The FDA determined that these liners pose a risk of edge-loading and premature wear in a specific subset of patients with certain implant configurations and surgical implant positioning. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, premature wear of hip implant components can lead to implant loosening and the need for revision surgery.
Patients who have received one of these implants should contact their healthcare provider to discuss their individual risk. Healthcare providers should consult Exactech and the FDA recall notice for complete guidance and instructions.
