The 6.0mm Cannulated Screw is a specialized orthopedic screw designed for fixation in large bones, particularly in metaphyseal and epiphyseal regions. Its cannulated design allows for precise insertion over a guidewire. The partially threaded feature is used to achieve interfragmentary compression across a fracture plane, while the large diameter is suitable for securing large fragments in bones like the femur and tibia.
