The 5.0mm Cannulated Screw is a specialized orthopedic screw designed for large bone fixation in metaphyseal and epiphyseal regions. Its cannulated design allows for precise insertion over a guidewire, minimizing surgical invasiveness. It features a partially threaded design, which is essential for achieving interfragmentary compression across a fracture plane while the unthreaded portion slides easily. It is commonly used for fixation in the femur, tibia, and humerus.

Key Features

• Cannulated Design: Hollow center facilitates guided insertion over a K-wire for accurate placement.

• Partially Threaded: Allows for interfragmentary compression when the threads cross the distal fracture fragment.

• Screw Diameter: 5.0mm diameter, suitable for large bone fragments.

• Primary Use: Used for fixation of fractures in large metaphyseal regions where compression and guided placement are necessary.

• Material Options: Available in high-quality Stainless Steel and Titanium.
