6.5MM CANNULATED CANCELLOUS SCREW – FULL THREAD
+ Description
The Ø6.5mm Cannulated Cancellous Screw – Full Thread is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for bone fixation, particularly in areas with cancellous (spongy) bone Diameter (Ø6.5mm):
The screw has an outer diameter of 6.5 millimeters, making it ideal for stabilizing soft, cancellous bone found in areas like the ends of long bones, joints, and vertebral bodies.
+ Indications
- The Ø6.5mm Cannulated Cancellous Screw – Full Thread is a versatile orthopedic implant used in a variety of surgical procedures. Here are its primary uses 1. Fracture Fixation Used to stabilize fractures in cancellous (spongy) bone regions, such as: Hip fractures (e.g., femoral neck fractures). Distal radius fractures (wrist). Ankle fractures (e.g., malleolar fractures). Tibial plateau fractures (knee). Calcaneal fractures (heel bone).
2. Osteotomies Used to fix bones that have been surgically cut and realigned, such as: High tibial osteotomy (knee realignment). Calcaneal osteotomy (foot realignment).
3. Arthrodesis (Joint Fusion) Provides stability during joint fusion procedures, such as: Ankle arthrodesis. Subtalar joint fusion. Wrist fusion.
4. Osteoporosis-Related Fixation Ideal for patients with osteoporotic bone due to its strong grip in soft, spongy bone.
5. Small Bone Fixation The 10mm to 20mm lengths are ideal for smaller bones or bone fragments, such as:
Hand and foot surgeries. Phalangeal fractures (finger/toe bones).
6. Minimally Invasive Surgery The cannulated design allows for precise placement over a K-wire, making it ideal for: Minimally invasive procedures. Complex fractures where accuracy is critical.
7. Revision Surgeries Can be used in cases where previous fixation hardware has failed or needs replacement.
8. Pediatric Orthopedics The smaller lengths (e.g., 10mm to 20mm) are suitable for use in pediatric patients for fracture fixation or bone realignment.
+ Key Features
- Diameter (Ø6.5mm): The screw has an outer diameter of 6.5 millimeters, making it ideal for stabilizing soft, cancellous bone found in areas like the ends of long bones, joints, and vertebral bodies.
- Full Thread Design:The screw is fully threaded, meaning the threads run along the entire length of the screw. This provides maximum grip and stability in cancellous bone, enhancing pull-out strength.
- Cannulated Design: The screw is hollow (cannulated), allowing it to be guided over a pre-inserted K-wire (Kirschner wire). This ensures precise placement during surgery, especially in minimally invasive procedures.
- Cancellous Thread Pattern: The threads are deep and coarse, specifically designed to anchor securely in soft, spongy bone, providing excellent fixation even in osteoporotic bone.
- Material: Typically made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the human body.
- Self-Tapping (Optional): Some versions of the screw may be self-tapping, meaning they can create their own threads in the bone as they are inserted, reducing the need for pre-drilling.
- Drive Head: The screw head is designed to accommodate a hex or star-shaped drive instrument, allowing for secure and easy insertion and removal.
