A Critical Update Regarding Synovo Products Recall
An Urgent Alert for Patients with Synovo Total Hip Implants
In a recent development, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued warnings regarding the Total Hip System, including specific resurfacing implants manufactured by Synovo Production, Inc. (Synovo), as reported on January 3, 2024. This warning specifically addresses patients who received certain implants used in the Synovo Total Hip System post-2019.
It has come to light that three critical components of this system - the Femoral Resurfacing Cup, the Acetabular Fixation Cup, and the Acetabular Bearing - have undergone significant modifications since their original FDA clearance. As a result, their safety and effectiveness remain unestablished.
FDA's Stance and Recommendations
As detailed in the FDA's safety communication, there are substantial concerns about the modified devices in the Synovo Total Hip System. The FDA advises health care providers against the use or implantation of the currently available Synovo Total Hip System. They have also been instructed to remove all related inventory, including the aforementioned components. For patients with these implants, the FDA recommends contacting health care providers if symptoms such as new or worsening pain, inability to bear weight, or any other concerning changes are experienced.
