In2Bones, SAS is recalling 122 units of I.B.S. Compression Screws because of a batch mix-up where 75mm screws and 80mm screws were swapped. As a result, the screws in these batches may have different physical lengths than what is printed on their sterile labels. This recall affects the 6.5-C Compression Screw model distributed in Tennessee.
If a surgeon uses a screw that is longer or shorter than the size indicated on the label, it could lead to incorrect placement during surgery. This may cause improper bone fixation, potential nerve or tissue damage from an over-long screw, or surgical delays while a correct replacement is located.
