Zimmer Recalls Shoulder Implant Over High Fracture Rates
February 16, 2017 – Zimmer initiated the recall after receiving a higher than expected number of reports of its Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder implant fracturing, which could require revision surgery leading to adverse health complications including permanent loss of shoulder function, infection, or rarely, death.
The Zimmer Reverse Shoulder is a shoulder replacement device designed to help restore arm movement in patients with rotator cuff tears who have severe arthritis and previously failed shoulder joint replacement.
