In June of 2012, Stryker recalled its Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck hip stems.
What led to this recall?
The Stryker Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck hip stems were both approved by the FDA using the FDA’s 510(K) PreMarket Notification process. This process allows a product to go to market without having to go through clinical trials to show its safety.
Unfortunately, it was later found that metal-on-metal hips stems, such the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck hip stems, could corrode and lead to adverse local reactions or pain and swelling around the hip.
