Fibula nails recalled over out of specification thread depths on the implant
Paragon 28 is recalling 20 Phantom Fibula Nails because out of specification thread depths may prevent the implant from mating with its mounting bolt, potentially requiring surgery to be aborted.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: the firm states an affected implant may require surgery to be aborted, and no injuries are reported.
Plain-English summary
The Phantom Fibula Nail, 2.8mm x 130mm, right, titanium, REF P36-128-130R-S, from Paragon 28, is being recalled. The fibula nail system is intended for use in fixation of fibular fractures and osteotomies.
The nails have out of specification thread depths, so the implant may not be able to mate properly with the associated mounting bolt. The firm states that if the nail cannot properly mate with the instrumentation, the surgery potentially will need to be aborted.
