Why it was recalled

There is a possibility that the ISKD limb lengthener may stop distracting post-operatively during treatment, which may result in premature bone consolidation (limb not achieving the desired length) leading to revision surgery to remove and/or replace the device.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
