• Manufacturer Reason for Recall: Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Recall for the Hip Distraction System, Traction Boot II, due to the boots being assembled incorrectly. The locking ridge on the front face of the boot key socket is facing upwards, which prevents the socket mechanism on the traction boot from attaching properly to the spar of the traction system. This will cause the boot to detach from the traction system.
• FDA Determined Cause: Under Investigation by firm
