What happened

Zimmer Biomet is recalling 638 units of the Affixus Hip Fracture Nail, LH 125 DEG 9MM X 260MM due to a defect discovered during a rework process. The set screw and sleeve assembly, which should be tightly fitted together, were found to be missing from their installed location on some units. This defect could prevent the product from assembling properly with the mating screw and targeting jig, potentially compromising the device's function.

The affected devices were distributed nationwide in the United States as well as in Portugal and the Netherlands. They are identified by item number 814409260, lot number 936020, with an expiration date of June 15, 2027.
