Trabecular MetalRecalls & reported problems across all models

We found 74 models of Trabecular Metal by Zimmer, Inc. in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 243 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between Nov 1, 2019 and Jul 1, 2026 — classified as 194 injuries, 49 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Device Dislodged or Dislocated” (51 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.
