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, potentially causing the implant to shift during healing or movement.
