Global medical device manufacturer Stryker has issued a voluntary recall for two of its metal-on-metal hip implant components, the Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck stems. The decision to opt for a voluntary recall has been taken following evidence of less-than-positive post-market surveillance results, which, according to the Stryker website, reveal the Rejuvenate and ABG II components to exhibit "a potential for fretting and corrosion at the modular neck junction which may lead to adverse local tissue reactions". Stryker will continue to evaluate post-market surveillance data for the two components. The manufacturer's monolithic stems are not part of this voluntary recall.
