What the authority reported
Humeral nail due to a manufacturing error is missing distal holes and if implanted may lead to revision surgery but, if the missing holes are identified before implantation, an equivalent backup can be used, or a bent nail of the same size, which would require additional surgical steps to address soft tissue/bone preparation, which could lead to a surgical delay of greater than 30 minutes.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
