What happened

Zimmer Biomet is recalling 638 units of the Affixus Hip Fracture Nail, 125 DEG 9MM X 180MM due to a defect discovered during rework of an earlier field action. The set screw and sleeve assembly, which should have an interference fit, were found to be missing from their installed location, which could prevent proper assembly with the mating screw and targeting jig. The affected product has item number 814309180, lot number 459250, and an expiration date of May 27, 2027. The product was distributed nationwide in the United States as well as in Portugal and the Netherlands.
