Definition

FITBONE systems use an implanted motor and receiver activated through an external control system. U.S. FDA records include clearances for FITBONE TAA and the FITBONE Transport and Lengthening System. A separate open recall identifies two units from specified 2024 lots of one trochanteric nail item; it is not a recall of every FITBONE system. Verify the exact model, catalog number, UDI or lot, current instructions, and country-specific status. [1][2][3]
