The 3.7mm Cannulated Screw is a specialized orthopedic screw designed to be inserted over a guidewire, allowing for precise placement and minimizing damage to the soft tissues. It features a partially threaded design, which is ideal for achieving interfragmentary compression across a fracture plane while the screw head secures the outer cortex. It is commonly used for fixation in the foot, ankle, and wrist (e.g., calcaneus, malleolus, scaphoid).
