An investigation by johnson & johnson medical determined that certain lots produced in a specific machine were manufactured in a manner in which the post’s diameter is out-of-specification. further investigation determined that the issue is related to the circularity of the cylinder. the circularity issue may cause the epiphysis to interfere with the stem and the two implants (epiphysis and stem) cannot be assembled. six (6) complaints were received worldwide within approximately a one month period. the current complaint rate associated with this failure mode is 0.0260%.If the epiphysis does not assemble to the stem and an alternative device is available, there may be a surgical delay of 15 to 59 minutes.Or, if an alternative implant is not available, the patient’s wound may need to be closed and the patient scheduled for a reoperation when a suitable device is available. note: once the epiphysis is properly assembled to the stem, there is no additional risk to the patient.
