Description

stryker Hoffmann LRF, Transport Strut, Model Number 4933-0-400; Orthopedic external fixation device intended to keep bone fragments/segments in a correct anatomical position until reliable bone consolidation is achieved

Reason

Stryker has identified a nonconformance in specific lots of Hoffmann LRF Bone Transport Struts. Specifically, the thread pitch is oversized at the distal end of the threaded rod, and as a result the distal ring fixation cannot be locked between 0- 50mm of the threaded rod.
