Zimmer Biomet recalls Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Left 125 (13mm x 300mm) due to set screw not advancing or reversing properly. Affected units may require replacement.
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 prevent proper fixation of the hip fracture, risking improper healing or complications.
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 after surgery, potentially causing the hip fracture to heal improperly or shift.
