About This Product

The APTUS/Medartis fixation system is used for fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis of the hand, forearm, shoulder and foot. The subject screw is a 2.5 TriLock locking screw used in various fixation procedures.

Why This Is Dangerous

A mix-up between 2.5mm and 2.8mm outer diameter screws could result in selecting an incorrect screw size during a fixation procedure, potentially affecting implant stability.

Industry Context

This recall is not part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

The issue requires clinical review and potential re-operation if mis-sized screws were used. No injuries have been reported to date, but the possibility of implant-related complications exists until the device is removed or replaced per instructions.

Practical Guidance
