The 4.5mm Malleolar Screw is a specialized orthopedic screw designed for fixation of the malleolus (ankle bone). It is often used for fixation of fractures in the ankle and other metaphyseal regions. It features a partially threaded design, which is ideal for achieving interfragmentary compression across a fracture plane when the threads secure the distal fragment.
