The 6.5mm Cancellous Screw (32mm Threaded) is a large-diameter orthopedic screw designed for robust fixation in the soft metaphyseal and epiphyseal bone of large long bones. The coarse threads provide maximum purchase in cancellous bone. This partially threaded variant, featuring a longer 32mm thread length, is ideal for achieving strong interfragmentary compression across fractures. 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 ensure strong grip in soft bone.
-
Partially Threaded (32mm 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.
