Product

LIMA Modular Revision Hip Stem Model 428-01-050_110 Product Usage: The Modular Revision Femoral hip stem is made up of a modular stem coupled with a proper neck by means of a Morse taper stabilized during the implantation phase by a safety screw. This system is particularly indicated for revision surgery on both uncemented and cemented femoral implants, when there is significant bone loss and an abnormal meta-epiphyseal anatomy of the femur.

Reason

Lima Proximal Bodies were inadvertently re-sterilized. The safety screw which affixes the distal and proximal bodies of the stem includes a thread-locking plug made from UHMWPE, which is not approved for repeated gamma sterilization.
