The 6.5mm Cancellous Screw is a large-diameter orthopedic screw designed for fixation in the soft metaphyseal and epiphyseal bone of large long bones. The coarse threads provide maximum purchase in cancellous bone. The screw features a partially threaded design with a 16mm thread length, which is ideal for achieving strong interfragmentary compression across a fracture plane. It is commonly used in fractures of the proximal femur, proximal tibia, and distal femur.
Key Features
-
Large Diameter (6.5mm): Provides robust holding power in large bone fragments.
-
Cancellous Thread Pitch: Coarse threads for strong grip in soft bone.
-
Partially Threaded (16mm Thread): The unthreaded shaft allows the screw head to pull the fracture fragments together, creating compression.
-
Primary Use: Used for internal fixation requiring compression in metaphyseal fractures of large bones.
-
Material Options: Available in Stainless Steel and Titanium.
