Recalled Exactech Products: Hips: There is an urgent recall for Exactech’s Connexion GXL Liners for Novation, Acumatch and MCS hip replacement systems. On June 24, 2021 Exactech issued a Frequently Asked Questions bulletin to its implanting Surgeons to let them know that many patients are at a higher risk of premature wear of the Exactech polyethylene Connexion GXL liners in their hip implant replacement systems. However, Exactech told doctors they were not recalling the liner. Yet on June 29, 2021 (just five days later), Exactech reversed course and did in fact issue a recall of its hip implants with the FDA. The FDA recall reports that there are 89,050 affected Exactech devices that may have been implanted in patients since 2008.

Knees On August 30, 2021, Exactech notified its distributors and sales representatives of a recall involving knee products with the same polyethylene liner as its hip products. Exactech expanded the recall on February 7, 2022, and sent letters to surgeons and hospitals to notify them of the recall. The letters to surgeons and hospitals also advised doctors on how to follow up with implanted patients. The recalled knee systems include the following Exactech products:

Exactech Optetrak (knee)

Exactech Optetrak Logic (knee)
Exactech Truliant (knee)

Notification of Recall to Patients Many patients do not know they have an Exactech recalled device implanted inside them. Exactech provided surgeons with exemplar letters to send to patients with recalled Exactech knees advising them of the recall. However, Exactech did not provide a similar letter for patients who have a recalled hip implant. Many surgeons elected not to send out the exemplar knee recall letters, or are unable to get in touch with all of their patients, have since retired or passed away, or do not have an available list of all patients and mailing addresses with recalled Exactech implants.
