Zimmer Biomet recalls Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Left 125mm 9mm x 300mm (Item 814409300) due to set screw malfunction. Affected units may not advance or reverse properly, potentially causing improper fixation.
The set screw is not able to advance or reverse from the original position in the nail.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling a specific hip fracture nail model because its set screw doesn't work correctly. This could lead to improper bone fixation during surgery, risking complications for patients.
The set screw in the nail cannot move forward or backward from its starting position. This means the nail might not stay securely in place during surgery, potentially causing improper bone alignment or requiring additional corrective steps.
Patients who received this specific hip fracture nail implant during surgery are affected. Surgeons and medical staff using the product for procedures are at risk if they use the recalled model.
