Based on FDA recall #Z-0958-2022 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-0958-2022%22&limit=1).

The FDA announced on March 9, 2022, that Acumed LLC voluntarily recalled 4.0mm x 10mm Cannulated Screws due to insufficient axial pullout strength. This defect poses a risk of bone malunion, fracture, or soft tissue damage.
