Zimmer Biomet recalls specific hip fracture nail models due to set screw malfunction. Affected units may not advance or reverse properly, potentially causing improper fixation. Contact for return instructions.
The set screw is not able to advance or reverse from the original position in the nail.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling hip fracture nails that have a set screw which cannot advance or reverse properly. This could lead to improper fixation of the hip fracture, risking complications during healing.
The set screw in the nail fails to move forward or backward from its initial position. This could prevent the nail from securing the bone fragments correctly, potentially causing the fracture to shift or not heal properly.
