What happened

Zimmer Biomet, Inc. is recalling 638 units of the Affixus Hip Fracture Nail, RH 130 DEG 11MM X 260MM, distributed nationwide in the US as well as in Portugal and the Netherlands. During rework for a previous field action in April 2017, it was discovered that the set screw and sleeve assembly—which are designed to fit together with an interference fit—were no longer in their proper installed location. This misplacement could prevent the product from assembling correctly with the mating screw and targeting jig.

The affected product has Item No. 814511260 and includes three specific lot numbers: 512520 (expiring 05/20/2027), 701810 (expiring 06/05/2027), and 893460 (expiring 06/15/2027). The recall notice does not specify a remedy or instructions for what affected consumers should do.
