    Description

    Metasul Femoral Head - indicated for total hip arthroplasty for treatment of patient conditions of non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease.

    Reason

    Potential compromise of the inner sterile tray. If a compromised tray is detected, a delay in surgery may result. If undetected breach in both the inner and outer trays were to occur, and there is contamination present, a periprosthetic infection is possible, which could lead to revision.
