Stryker Accolade Hip Implant Recall
Due to the substantial problems associated with the devices, Stryker issued a recall of the Accolade femoral stem in combination with the metal acetabular cup known as the DePuy MITCH TRH System. When these two devices are used together in a hip replacement procedure, there is a 10.7% rate of revision surgery. The risks of using these two devices together include:
- An increased risk of corrosion at the modular neck junction, which may release metal debris into the surrounding tissue.
- An increased risk of metal ions in the surrounding tissue, which may result in inflammation, metal poisoning, necrosis and pain. In addition, correcting this complication may require a complex revision surgery.
- Patients with metal sensitivity may experience an allergic reaction that requires a corrective procedure.
- Excessive metal debris in the joint can lead to osteolysis, or bone loss, with may require a revision surgery.
