Zimmer Biomet recalls Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Right 130 (11mm x 360mm) due to set screw not advancing or reversing properly. Affected units sold between 2019-2023; contact for replacement.
The set screw is not able to advance or reverse from the original position in the nail.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling Affixus Hip Fracture Nail Right 130 models because the set screw can't move forward or backward properly. This could lead to improper fixation of the hip fracture nail, risking complications during surgery or after implantation.
The set screw in the nail cannot advance or reverse from its original position. This means the nail may not secure properly during surgery, potentially causing improper fixation of the hip fracture.
