Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Knee implant femoral devices were found to have anomalous microstructure. Porosity and the presence of blocky carbides, within the cobalt chrome part, can decrease the overall fatigue strength. This decrease in strength could cause implants to fracture under what would normally be acceptable loads.
