Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip System Implant Recall
“On July 2, 2024, Zimmer Biomet initiated a voluntary recall to update instructions for use for the CPT Hip System due to an increased risk of thigh bone fracture,” the United States Food and Drug Administration reported.
Although the manufacturer also announced its plan to phase out the sale of the device by December 2024, implantation of the device could happen even after the recall and up to that point.
A safety communication was posted on the FDA’s website on September 17, 2024, that specifically noted, “the (FDA) is alerting patients, caregivers, health care providers, and health care facilities about the increased risk of thigh bone fracture after surgery (postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture) with the use of the Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip System Femoral Stem 12/14 Neck Taper (CPT Hip System).”
In particular, information the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) released on September 4, 2024, revealed that “unpublished analysis of the most commonly implanted PTS Hip Stems in the United Kingdom indicated that patients with the CPT Hip System have the highest risk of fracture around the thigh bone at approximately 1.4%, and similar PTS Hip Stems have fracture rates ranging from approximately 0.6% to 1%.”
The potential increased risk for thigh bone fracture, additional surgical intervention, pain and difficulty when walking, and more, led to the recall of the Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip System. But if you or a loved one received a Zimmer Biomet hip implant and experienced complications including thigh bone fracture, you may be eligible to take legal action.
