Overview
The 5.0 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread) is a high-performance orthopedic implant designed for secure and stable fixation in cancellous (spongy) bone, typically found in larger bones such as the femur, tibia, and pelvis. Featuring a full-thread design, this screw provides superior engagement with softer, more porous bone, ensuring enhanced stability and optimal bone healing in challenging fracture sites. The locking mechanism integrates securely with locking plates, preventing screw loosening and migration, making it ideal for use in complex fractures, osteotomies, and joint stabilization procedures. Constructed from durable materials like titanium or stainless steel, this screw offers exceptional mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and long-term durability, ensuring reliable performance in orthopedic surgery.
Key Features
- Full-Thread Design: The screw’s full-thread design maximizes the contact area between the screw and the cancellous bone, improving its grip and stability, particularly in areas with soft, porous bone that may be prone to screw backout or loosening.
- Locking Mechanism: The integrated locking mechanism securely attaches the screw to the locking plate, providing a rigid and stable fixation that helps prevent screw loosening, migration, or backout. This is especially beneficial in osteoporotic or weak bone conditions where traditional screws may fail.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from premium titanium or stainless steel, the screw offers superior strength, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion. These materials ensure that the screw will maintain its integrity in the body, promoting long-term durability and reducing the risk of implant failure.
- Versatile Application: The 5.0 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread) is ideal for use in large bone fractures, particularly in the femur, tibia, pelvis, and other large bones. It is also suitable for osteotomies, joint stabilization, and fractures that require secure, stable fixation.
- Minimally Invasive: The screw’s smooth shaft and self-tapping threads reduce surgical trauma, facilitating easier insertion and minimizing soft tissue disruption. This leads to less post-operative pain and supports faster recovery.
- Optimized Bone Healing: The full-thread design and locking mechanism ensure that the screw provides stable fixation, which is essential for promoting faster bone healing and reducing the risk of complications such as delayed union or non-union.
Indications for Use
- Fractures of Large Bones: Ideal for fractures in the femur, tibia, and pelvis, where the bone is softer and more porous (cancellous).
- Osteoporotic Bone Fractures: The locking mechanism ensures stability in osteoporotic bone, which may not provide adequate support for traditional screws.
- Osteotomies and Joint Stabilization: Useful in complex bone procedures requiring stable fixation and precise alignment.
- Complex Trauma Cases: Essential for trauma surgeries involving large bone fractures or fractures in patients with weakened bone structure.
Benefits
- Enhanced Stability: The full-thread design and locking mechanism provide superior stability, ensuring secure fixation and reducing the risk of screw loosening, migration, or backout.
- Faster Healing: By providing rigid fixation, the screw minimizes movement at the fracture site, supporting faster healing and bone union.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: The locking design helps to maintain optimal bone alignment, reducing the risk of delayed union, non-union, and malalignment.
- Minimized Soft Tissue Disruption: The screw’s self-tapping threads and smooth shaft ensure easy insertion with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, leading to less post-operative pain and a quicker recovery time.
- Improved Surgical Precision: The design of the screw allows for precise placement during surgery, reducing the risk of malpositioning and improving overall surgical outcomes.
Available Sizes:
The 5.0 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread) is available in a range of lengths to accommodate different surgical needs, typically from 25 mm to 100 mm.
Why Choose the 5.0 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread)?
The 5.0 mm Cancellous Locking Screw (Full Thread) provides a reliable solution for securing fractures in larger bones or osteoporotic bone conditions where traditional fixation may not be as effective. Its full-thread design ensures superior bone engagement, while the locking mechanism offers enhanced stability and prevents screw loosening. Crafted from high-strength titanium or stainless steel, it provides long-term durability, reducing the risk of complications and supporting faster recovery. This screw is an essential tool for orthopedic surgeons treating large bone fractures, joint stabilization, and complex trauma cases.
