Bone cement complications from product recall

A regulator warning earlier this year stemmed from bone cement complications caused by an issue with the product itself.

A risk of the need for revision surgery from the use of Optipac 40 Refobacin Revision and Optipac 80 Refobacin Revision was identified.
