Event or Problem Description
|
|
Additional information was received on 05/07/2025: during a trochanteric nail procedure on an unknown date, the compression wheel and inserter handle failed to provide proper compression, exhibiting slipping or clicking at a certain point when attempting to compress.This issue had previously been observed in three cases involving troch nails, though specific dates or case details are unavailable.While the issue did not impact the cases or patients, a recurring pattern was later identified.The case was completed in standard fashion, achieving as much compression as the instrument allowed without requiring additional products.There was no reported delay, and no additional anesthesia was administered.The affected products, in this case, included the lag screw inserter and compression wheel.
