Smith & Nephew Inc. has issued a recall for the Modular SMF and Modular Redapt hip systems.

Indicated for primary and revision hip surgery due to trauma or non-inflammatory degenerative joint conditions, osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, fused hip, fracture of the pelvis or diastrophic variant, the Modular SMF and Modular Redapt hip systems have been recalled due to “a higher than anticipated complaint and adverse event trend,” according to the recall listed on the FDA site. Hospitals and surgeons are instructed to locate and quarantine any unused devices, complete the inventory return certification form and obtain a return authorization number.
