    Description

    Cortical Screw for M/DN Intramedullary Fixation. Metaphyseal/Diaphyseal Nail System, Orthopedic surgical device.

    Reason

    The entire scope of 4.5mm Cortical Screws listed as compatible with the M/DN system is not compatible with the M/DN system. This has the potential to lead to a situation in which the screw would bind upon entering the nail and have to be removed during the surgery or removal of the screw after fracture healing.
