Event or Problem Description

As reported: "we had an incident yesterday at overland park regional.We were using a right gamma nail and the gamma nail is labeled as a 10 by 320 by 125 for the right side.Unfortunately, we put the nail in and realized that it was going to be too short, so they pulled the nail back out.When we measured the nail with a ruler, it was measured closer to 305, which is much shorter than the 320 that it was labeled as the nail, the sticker and the box all said 320, but the actual length of the nail is shorter.".
