This issue is due to improper use of the klassic bipolar femoral head and klassic offset femoral stem by mating them with implants from stryker mdm x3 system, against the provided instructions for use of both systems.Use of these implants with the stryker implants is against supplied instructions and intended use and the design was not intended for such use.The rep has confirmed that the devices will not be recovered for further investigation.Without return of the implants physical investigation of the parts cannot be completed any further.Total joint orthopedics is submitting this as a voluntary report as our implants were used off label.
