Zimmer Biomet recalls Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Right 125 (11mm x 440mm) 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:us Hip Fracture Nails Right 125 (11mm x 440mm) because the set screw can't move forward or backward properly. This could lead to improper fixation of the hip fracture, risking complications during surgery or after the procedure.
The set screw in the nail cannot advance or reverse from its original position. This means the nail might not hold securely in the bone, potentially causing the implant to shift during healing or movement. If the nail shifts, it could lead to complications like pain, infection, or the need for additional surgery.
Surgical patients who received this specific hip fracture nail implant during procedures between 2019 and 2023 are likely affected. Patients who have had the implant are at risk of improper fixation if the set screw malfunctions.
