Description
TRIGEN PROXIMAL STRAIGHT HUMERAL NAIL 8/7 X 16, REF: 71760816
Humeral nail due to a manufacturing error is missing distal holes and if implanted may lead to revision surgery but, if the missing holes are identified before implantation, an equivalent backup can be used, or a bent nail of the same size, which would require additional surgical steps to address soft tissue/bone preparation, which could lead to a surgical delay of greater than 30 minutes.
