Overview
The 5.0 mm Cortex Locking Screw is a high-performance orthopedic implant designed for stable fixation in cortical bone, making it ideal for large bone fractures, osteotomies, and joint stabilization procedures. Engineered with precision, this screw features a locking mechanism that ensures rigid, secure fixation to locking plates, providing exceptional mechanical stability, even in challenging fracture sites. Constructed from high-quality materials like titanium or stainless steel, it delivers outstanding durability, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term performance and minimizing the risk of implant failure. The 5.0 mm Cortex Locking Screw is especially beneficial in cases requiring strong and reliable fixation for large or osteoporotic bones, supporting faster healing and reducing the risk of complications such as screw loosening or non-union.

Key Features

  • Locking Mechanism: The screw features an innovative locking design that securely engages with locking plates, providing rigid fixation that prevents screw loosening, backout, and migration, even in osteoporotic or compromised bone.
  • High-Quality Material: Manufactured from premium-grade titanium or stainless steel, the screw offers high strength, resistance to corrosion, and superior biocompatibility, ensuring longevity and safety for the patient.
  • Precision Design: With a 5.0 mm diameter, the screw is designed to provide optimal fixation in larger bones, such as the femur, tibia, or humerus, where strong, stable support is necessary. Its self-tapping threads allow for easy insertion and secure engagement with the bone.
  • Versatile Use: The 5.0 mm Cortex Locking Screw is suitable for a variety of orthopedic procedures, including fracture fixation, joint stabilization, and osteotomies in large bones. It’s also ideal for fractures in patients with osteoporotic bone conditions, where enhanced stability is required.
  • Minimally Invasive: The screw’s design facilitates minimally invasive insertion, reducing soft tissue trauma and supporting quicker recovery. The self-tapping threads ensure a smooth insertion, minimizing the need for excessive bone preparation.
  • Optimized Bone Healing: The locking mechanism provides a secure fixation that promotes optimal bone alignment, reduces motion at the fracture site, and supports faster bone healing and union.

Indications for Use

  • Fractures of Large Bones: Ideal for fractures in the femur, tibia, humerus, and other large bones where strong, reliable fixation is required.
  • Osteoporotic Bone Fractures: The locking mechanism ensures enhanced stability in weakened or osteoporotic bone.
  • Osteotomies and Joint Stabilization: Suitable for procedures requiring stable internal fixation, such as corrective surgeries and joint reconstruction.
  • Trauma and Reconstructive Surgeries: Essential for complex fractures, particularly in trauma cases that require plate and screw fixation for optimal stability.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Stability: The locking mechanism ensures optimal fixation by securing the screw to the locking plate, preventing loosening or migration, even in compromised bone conditions.
  • Faster Healing: By providing a rigid and stable fixation, the screw minimizes movement at the fracture site, supporting faster bone healing and reducing the risk of complications such as delayed union or non-union.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications: The locking mechanism reduces the chances of screw loosening, malpositioning, or backout, ensuring better surgical outcomes and fewer complications during the healing process.
  • Minimized Soft Tissue Disruption: The screw’s design allows for easier, controlled insertion with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, leading to less post-operative pain and faster recovery.
  • Improved Surgical Precision: The precise design, self-tapping threads, and smooth shaft make it easier for surgeons to achieve accurate screw placement, enhancing overall surgical precision.

Available Sizes:
The 5.0 mm Cortex Locking Screw is available in a range of lengths, typically from 18 mm to 90 mm, to accommodate various patient needs and fracture sites.
