Waldemar Link Endo-Model knee implant recalled for wrong componentSome Endo-Model replacement sets for a Rotating Hinge tibial plateau were packaged with a Pure Hinge plateau instead. The wrong plateau cannot be inserted, which could make surgery longer or require a different product. If it were implanted, it could wear faster and shorten how long the implant lasts. No injuries have been reported.
