Description

PANTA Nails, 10mm x 150 length, Newdeal, Lyon France; Integra, 311 Enterprise Drive, Plainsboro, NJ. The Newdeal Ankle Nail is intended for use in tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis and the treatment of trauma to the hindfoot and distal tibia. The nail affords rigid, load sharing fixation that incorporates a simple nail-mounted, in-line method of compression across the arthrodesis site.

Reason

Certain PANTA Nails from one lot were incorrectly manufactured. The internal thread for certain PANTA Nails (Part Number 500050ND; Lot Number: E7XX) may present an insufficient depth and may not allow the engagement of the threaded part of the compression device. The risks presented include: an increase in surgery time, or the implantation of a nail less ideally suited for the patient's anatomy
