United StatesShort Monobloc Stem Broaches (part of the Medacta Shoulder System), sizes 7–16 with REF 04.01.10.0970–04.01.10.0979 and the listed UDI/lot numbers distributed in CO, AR, IN, PA, UT and FL, are affected. They were recalled because the instruments do not progressively translate to replicate implant geometry, causing the reaming guide and stem reamer to be positioned approximately 0.2 mm per size more laterally than intended, which may increase the risk of fracture in the medial region of the proximal humerus.

The hazard
Surgical instruments used during shoulder arthroplasty procedures does not progressively translate to replicate implant geometry, so the reaming guide and the stem reamer are positioned approximately 0.2 mm per size more laterally than intended, which may increase the risk of fracture in the medial region of the proximal humerus.
