Zimmer Biomet recalls specific hip fracture nail models due to set screw malfunction. Affected items 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 certain hip fracture nail models because the set screw cannot advance or reverse from its original position. This could lead to improper bone fixation and increased risk of complications after surgery.
The set screw in the nail fails to move properly, which could result in the nail not securing the bone fragments correctly. This might cause the nail to become loose or dislodged over time, potentially leading to complications during recovery.
Surgical patients who received the recalled hip fracture nail models during procedures between 2019 and 2023 are affected. Patients using these nails post-surgery may face improper fixation risks.
Check for the model name 'Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Left 125' with dimensions 9 mm x 400 mm and item number 814409400. The recall covers items sold between 2019 and 2023.
