In December 2016, DePuy Synthes, a division of Johnson & Johnson, recalled the elbow implant. At the time of the recall, more than 50,000 of the elbow implants had been manufactured and distributed, according to the FDA. Reports of problems with the devices had been known for several years prior to the devices being recalled.
