Description
ExploR 7x26mm Modular Radial Stem, Catalog number 11-210062. Elbow prosthesis orthopedic implant.
Reason
This lot of the ExploR Modular Radial Stem may be missing the wedge ramp threads. If the wedge ramp threads are missing from the stem, the likelihood of the set screw loosening from the radial stem intraoperatively is increased. If the set screw loosens, a revision surgery may be necessary.
