Ti Synex II Vertebral Body Replacement Recall Alert Announced by ClassAction.org

The consumer protection attorneys at ClassAction.org are currently investigating cases of complications related to the Ti Synex II Vertebral Body Replacement device. The central body component of the Ti Synex II Vertebral Body Replacement device is allegedly prone to failure, which can cause serious medical issues for patients.

The Ti Synex II Vertebral Body Replacement, manufactured by Synthes, was designed to replace a collapsed or unstable vertebral body caused by trauma or a tumor. Failure of the central body component of the Ti Synex II Vertebral Body Replacement device has the potential to cause moderate to severe loss of vertebral body replacement height. This can lead to complications, including nerve injury, spinal compression fracture, failure of additional fixation, and increased pain. Complications have been reported between six and fifteen months post-implantation, and additional surgery may be required to correct these problems and/or modify the device.

In September 2009, Synthes began voluntarily recalling the Ti Synex II Vertebral Body Replacement after receiving six adverse event reports. In November 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a Class I Recall. This product was manufactured from June 8, 2007 through September 9, 2009 and distributed from July 2, 2007 through September 8, 2009.
