The 4.0mm Cancellous Screw (Sort Threaded) is designed for fixation in soft metaphyseal and epiphyseal bone. The coarse threads provide excellent purchase in cancellous bone, while the “sort threaded” (partially threaded) design is crucial for achieving interfragmentary compression across a fracture site. It is commonly used for internal fixation in the foot, ankle, wrist, and elbow.
Key Features
-
Cancellous Thread Pitch: Coarse threads provide strong grip in soft bone.
-
Partially Threaded: The unthreaded shaft allows the screw head to pull the fracture fragments together, creating compression.
-
Screw Diameter: 4.0mm, suitable for fixation in small to medium-sized joints.
-
Primary Use: Used for internal fixation requiring compression in metaphyseal fractures.
-
Material Options: Available in Stainless Steel and Titanium.
