Zimmer Biomet recalls Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Right 130 (13mm x 460mm) due to set screw not advancing or reversing properly. Affected units may need repair or replacement.
The set screw is not able to advance or reverse from the original position in the nail.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling Affix: Hip Fracture Nail Right 130 (13mm x 460mm) because the set screw can't move forward or backward as intended. This could lead to improper fixation of the hip fracture, risking complications during surgery or recovery.
The set screw in the nail fails to advance or reverse from its original position. This means the nail may not hold securely in the bone, potentially causing the implant to shift during healing or movement. The risk is primarily during surgical fixation and post-operative recovery.
Surgical patients who received this specific hip fracture nail implant during procedures between 2021 and 2023 are affected. Patients using the product for hip fracture repair are at risk of improper fixation.
