Tornier Recalls Salto Talaris Tibial Guide Due to Assembly Defect

Tornier is voluntarily recalling five units of the Salto Talaris Tibial Guide because they cannot be assembled to the Talar Pin Setting guide.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is a voluntary precautionary action for a functional defect that prevents the instrument from being used as intended, with no reported injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Tornier, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of the Salto Talaris Tibial Guide (Part # MJU333, Tray/Kit Code YKAL11, Lot #14F005). The recall involves five non-sterile orthopedic manual surgical instruments.

The recall was initiated due to a complaint received during physician training that the guide cannot be assembled to the Salto Talaris Talar Pin Setting guide. This defect makes it impossible to place the Talar pin in the guide.

The affected units were distributed to California, Maine, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Users should stop using the recalled instruments and contact Tornier for instructions on return or replacement.
