The 5.0mm Locking Head Screw is designed for use with large-fragment Locking Compression Plates (LCP) to create an angularly stable construct. The threaded head locks securely into the corresponding threaded plate hole, creating a fixed-angle device that is critical for maintaining reduction, especially in fragmented fractures or osteoporotic bone. This screw is typically used with 4.5/5.0mm plates for fixation in large long bones like the femur and tibia.
