The 4.0mm Cannulated Cancellous Screw (Short Thread) is designed for fixation in the soft metaphyseal and epiphyseal bone, particularly in the hand, foot, wrist, or ankle. Its cannulated design allows for precise insertion over a guidewire. The coarse, short thread provides strong purchase in cancellous bone and is primarily used to achieve interfragmentary compression across a fracture site.
