Plain-English summary

United Orthopedic Corp. is recalling its USTAR II Knee System Hinge Box Trial, left and right, sizes #1-6. These are reusable knee femur prosthesis trials used during orthopedic surgery.

The recall is due to an incomplete process of the component screw by a subcontractor, which prevents the properly assembling of the stem trial. This manufacturing defect could affect the device's ability to function correctly during surgery.

The products were distributed nationwide in Texas and Michigan. Patients and surgeons should return the affected devices to United Orthopedic Corp. for replacement or refund. Healthcare facilities should not use the affected devices until they have been returned.
