Overview
The 3.5 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread) is a premium orthopedic implant specifically designed for stable and secure fixation in cancellous (spongy) bone. This screw is ideal for use in fractures, osteotomies, and joint stabilization procedures, particularly in areas with soft or porous bone such as the femur, tibia, and pelvis. The full-thread design enhances the screw’s grip within the cancellous bone, providing superior stability and reducing the risk of screw migration or loosening over time. With its locking mechanism, this screw ensures rigid fixation by securing it firmly to the plate, making it suitable for challenging fractures and osteoporotic bone conditions.
Key Features
- Full Thread Design: The full-thread design maximizes contact with the bone, providing superior grip and ensuring optimal stability in cancellous bone, which is softer and more porous compared to cortical bone.
- Locking Mechanism: The screw features a locking mechanism that securely attaches to locking plates, preventing screw backout and ensuring a stable, long-term fixation, especially in osteoporotic or weak bone.
- High-Quality Material: Made from premium titanium or stainless steel, the screw offers exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for long-term implantation in the body.
- Versatile Application: Perfect for use in fractures of the distal femur, proximal tibia, or pelvis, as well as in complex osteotomies, joint stabilization, and other orthopedic procedures involving cancellous bone.
- Minimally Invasive: The screw’s smooth shaft and self-tapping threads facilitate easy insertion, reducing surgical trauma and promoting quicker recovery with minimal soft tissue disruption.
- Optimal Healing: The locking mechanism and full-thread design provide stable fixation, which promotes faster bone healing, reduces the risk of complications such as delayed union or non-union, and minimizes post-operative pain.
Indications for Use
- Fractures of cancellous bone (e.g., distal femur, proximal tibia, pelvis)
- Osteoporotic bone fractures requiring secure fixation
- Joint stabilization and complex osteotomies
- Trauma and reconstructive surgeries where plate and screw combinations are necessary
Benefits
- Superior Stability: The full-thread design and locking mechanism provide enhanced stability, especially in soft or weak bone, reducing the risk of screw loosening or backout over time.
- Faster Healing: The rigid fixation provided by the locking mechanism supports faster bone healing, ensuring a secure fracture site and reducing complications such as delayed union or non-union.
- Reduced Risk of Malposition: The self-tapping threads and smooth shaft design allow for better control during insertion, minimizing the risk of screw malposition and improving the overall surgical outcome.
- Minimized Soft Tissue Disruption: The screw’s minimally invasive design and easy insertion process result in less soft tissue damage, leading to faster recovery times and reduced post-operative pain.
Available Sizes:
The 3.5 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread) is available in a range of lengths to suit different surgical needs, typically ranging from 20 mm to 100 mm.
