Plain-English summary
Zimmer, Inc. is recalling CPT Hip Joint Metal/Polymer Semi-Constrained Cemented Prostheses used in hip replacement surgery. The recall affects approximately 5,500 prostheses distributed in the United States and 242,000 units distributed internationally.

Patients who have received this prosthesis, or those scheduled for implantation, should contact their healthcare provider or surgeon to discuss their individual situation. Healthcare providers should review the updated IFU when available.
