What happened

Zimmer Biomet, Inc. is recalling 638 units of the Affixus Hip Fracture Nail, LH 130 DEG 11MM X 260MM distributed nationwide in the United States, as well as in Portugal and the Netherlands. During a rework process for a previous field action dated April 17, 2017, the set screw and sleeve assembly—which are designed to fit together with interference—were found to have become dislodged from their installed location. This dislodgement could prevent the product from assembling properly with the mating screw and targeting jig. The affected product is identified by Item No. 814611260, with multiple lot numbers and expiration dates ranging from May 21, 2027 to June 5, 2027.
