In September 2003, Smith & Nephew conducted a "Market Withdrawal" of certain cementless Oxinium Profix II and Oxinium Genesis II knee implants.

Smith & Nephew have recalled two of their knee replacement systems. The implants involve cementless versions of their Oxinium Genesis and Oxinum profix systems. The United Kingdom based manufacturer reports that 30 of the 3000 patients fitted with these products needed corrective surgery. These products have a tendency to become loose.

Symptoms include: knee pain, stiffening, and an inability to walk
