Zimmer Biomet recalls Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Left 125mm (Item 814409260) due to set screw not advancing or reversing properly. Affected patients should contact for guidance.
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 fixation of the hip fracture, risking complications during healing.
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 healing, potentially causing the hip fracture to shift or fail to heal properly.
