GLOBAL ADVANTAGERecalls & reported problems across all models

We found 47 models of GLOBAL ADVANTAGE by Depuy Orthopaedics, Inc. in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 182 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between Jun 21, 2017 and Aug 24, 2026 — classified as 158 injuries, 24 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Insufficient Device Problem Information” (18 reports).

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.
