Posterior Cervical Screw System
Orthopedic · 21 CFR 888.3075
Posterior cervical screw systems are intended for use in fusion procedures of the cervical spine and/or craniocervical junction and/or cervicothoracic junction for: 1) spinal fractures and dislocations; 2) deformities; 3) instabilities; 4) failed previous fusions; 5) tumors; 6) inflammatory disorders; 7) spinal degeneration, 8) facet degeneration with instability; and 9) reconstruction following decompression to treat radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. These systems are also intended to stabilize the spine in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.

ORTHOFIX, Connector System, SMALL SET SCREW, REF 79-2003
Orthofix is conducting a voluntary recall of the Connector System Large Set Screw (PN: 79-2002) with affected Lot Numbers 001 and 002, and Small Set Screw (PN: 79-2003) with affected Lot Numbers 002, 003 and 004. Through the company's manufacturing controls, size discrepancies were noted with the drive feature for both the large and small sets screws. As a result, it is possible that (1) the set screw drive feature will not accept the Set Screw Driver (PN: 79-1006) or (2) the driver may get wedged in the corners of the drive feature (false bottom) which may lead to a stripped set screw.
