Why it was recalled

Affected implants may have undersized distal diameter along length of the shaft, which could lead to implant fatigue fracture. Potential health risk if implant fatigue fracture occurs include adverse local tissue reaction, pain or ache, non-union or malunion, or tissue damage necessitating surgical intervention.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
