Posterior Cervical Screw | Partial Thread | Shank Screw | Titanium



+ Description
The Posterior Cervical Partial Thread Shank Screw is a specialized implant designed for secure fixation in posterior cervical spine surgeries. Constructed from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), this screw features a threaded distal portion for strong anchorage within the bone and a smooth shank (non-threaded section) near the head to reduce stress on adjacent structures and allow for optimal compression and alignment.
It is primarily used in lateral mass or pedicle screw fixation systems for posterior cervical spine stabilization, offering high mechanical strength and ease of use during instrumentation.
+ Indications
- Posterior cervical fusion (C3–C7)
- Lateral mass or pedicle fixation in the cervical spine
- Degenerative cervical spine conditions requiring rigid stabilization
- Cervical spine trauma or fractures
- Instability due to tumor, infection, or deformity
- Revision surgeries needing re-instrumentation
- Used as part of a posterior cervical fixation construct
- Typically paired with 3.5 mm rods, crosslinks, and connectors
- Useful in achieving compression or maintaining alignment post-decompression
+ Key Features
- Partial Thread Design : Threaded portion ensures firm bone grip Smooth shank facilitates compression across fracture or fusion sites
- Titanium Alloy Construction (Ti6Al4V ELI) : Biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, and MRI-compatible Lightweight yet mechanically strong
- Shank for Cortical Protection : Smooth surface minimizes irritation to soft tissue and reduces the risk of pullout Ideal for situations requiring dynamic axial loading or compression
- Self-Tapping or Pre-Drilled Options : Available in self-tapping versions for faster surgical workflow Non-self-tapping for use with pilot holes as preferred by surgeon
- Low-Profile Head Design : Compatible with posterior rod systems Reduces soft tissue interference in the cervical spine
- Precise Machining & Thread Geometry : Ensures excellent purchase in cancellous and cortical bone Minimizes micro-motion at the bone-implant interface
- Radiopaque Material : Fully visible under fluoroscopy for accurate placement
- ISO 13485 & CE Certified : Manufactured according to international orthopedic standards
