The 7.3mm Cannulated Locking Head Screw, with its self-tapping tip, is designed for the fixation of large fragments and severe fractures in the metaphyseal and epiphyseal regions of large bones (like the femoral head or proximal tibia). Its large diameter provides robust holding power. The cannulated design allows for precise insertion over a guidewire, and the threaded head locks into corresponding locking plates, creating a strong, fixed-angle construct. The self-tapping tip simplifies the surgical procedure.
Key Features
-
Large Diameter (7.3mm): Provides maximum fixation strength in cancellous bone.
-
Cannulated Design: Facilitates precise insertion over a K-wire.
-
Self-Tapping Tip: Allows for direct insertion without pre-tapping, streamlining surgery.
-
Locking Head: Creates a fixed-angle, angularly stable construct when inserted into an LCP plate.
-
Primary Use: Used for fixation of complex fractures in the proximal femur, tibia, or humerus, often in conjunction with specialized locking plates.
