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: FDA Class II medical device recall involving a mechanical failure during intraoperative use. The locking screw passing through the locking hole represents a risk of inadequate fracture fixation and patient harm, though no injuries have been reported to date—only surgical delays.
