2.4MM CORTICAL SCREW
+ Description
A Ø2.4 mm cortical screw is slightly larger than the Ø2.0 mm variant and is specifically designed to provide enhanced fixation in areas with dense cortical bone. Here’s a detailed description
+ Indications
- A Ø2.4 mm cortical screw, being slightly larger, is versatile in surgical applications requiring secure fixation in cortical bone. Here are some common uses
- Fracture Fixation:Used in treating fractures in areas with denser bone, such as the hand, wrist, foot, or mandible. Provides stable fixation to ensure proper bone healing and alignment.
- Bone Plate Attachment: Secures plates to bones, particularly in fractures where stability and precise alignment are critical.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Helps in reconstructive procedures and fracture management in the jaw or other facial bones.
- Orthopedic Trauma: Ideal for small-to-medium bones where stronger fixation is required compared to smaller screws.
- Pediatric Orthopedics: Frequently used in children for bone repairs or fracture stabilization due to its appropriate size and strength.
- Bone Grafts or Implants: Assists in securing bone grafts or prosthetic components during surgical reconstruction. Its strength, adaptability, and range of lengths make it essential in cases demanding robust but precise orthopedic solutions."
+ Key Features
- Material: Typically made of biocompatible materials like Titanium or Stainless Steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with human tissues.
- Thread Design: Fine, sharp threads covering the full length of the screw ensure secure engagement with cortical bone. Provides precise fixation in dense, hard bone tissues.
- Dimensions: The core diameter is Ø2.4 mm, and the lengths available can 8mm to 26mm to suit specific surgical requirements.
- Head Type: Often designed to be countersunk, allowing the screw to sit flush with the bone or plate surface. Features compatibility with specialized tools for easy insertion and removal during surgical procedures.
- Special Features: Self-tapping variants are available, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and streamlining surgical steps.
