The 5.0mm Cancellous Locking Head Screw is designed for fixation in the soft metaphyseal and epiphyseal bone, often used with large-fragment Locking Compression Plates (LCP) to create an angularly stable construct. The threaded head locks securely into the corresponding threaded plate hole, providing fixed-angle stability crucial for maintaining reduction in highly fragmented or osteoporotic bone. This screw is used in metaphyseal regions of large bones (e.g., proximal tibia, distal femur) where cancellous threads provide optimal purchase.
