Zimmer biomet is conducting a recall of specific lots of the comprehensive segmental revision system (srs)/discovery distal body with screw. zimmer biomet has received reports that during assembly an srs humeral distal body implant failed to engage correctly at the point of reduction with a discovery elbow system humeral condyle. a mismatch occurred between the screw holes in the distal humeral body and the discovery elbow condyle implant during vendor machine operation. the mismatch does not always prevent engagement of the screw and the condition would be noticed during assembly.
