Could there have been any recalls on hip replacement products from 'ortho development' the surgery was 6-612.?

Should look at FDA: I know of no current recalls but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Check on the FDA website as well as call the company. Every company keeps a log of what implants are implant and who they're used in. This helps follow through on recalls. Likely if you haven't been contacted then your ok but that's not 100%.
