Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		Ankle clamp was assembled incorrectly; the offset of the pin to the pivot point is reversed. This prevents complete range of motion and if pushed too far may loosen the pin from the bone. A revision surgery may be necessary to adequately reconnect the fixator to the bone.
