The 2.7mm Cortical Screw, Self Tapping, is a standard orthopedic screw designed for use in the dense cortical bone of the diaphysis. This screw features a self-tapping tip, which eliminates the need for pre-tapping in certain bone types, streamlining the surgical procedure. It is commonly used in conjunction with 2.7mm plates (like the LCP Distal Radius plates) for fixation in small bones or for specific fixation needs in larger bones.
