Cannulated Cancellous Screw 4.5mm x 60mm Full Thread Titanium Orthopedic

The Orthopedic Cannulated Cancellous Screw you’re referring to is a specialized orthopedic implant used for the fixation of fractures, particularly in cancellous (spongy) bone. Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

4.5mm x 60mm:

4.5mm refers to the diameter of the screw. This size is ideal for securing fractures in medium to large bones.
60mm refers to the length of the screw, which is used to provide adequate depth for the bone fixation, ensuring secure attachment.
Full Thread: This indicates that the screw has threads along its entire length. Full threading allows for better engagement with the bone and greater stability of the fixation, especially in cancellous bone, which is softer and more porous.

Titanium: Titanium is a preferred material for orthopedic implants due to its excellent combination of strength, lightweight nature, and biocompatibility. It is corrosion-resistant and does not cause adverse reactions in the body, making it suitable for long-term implantation.

Cannulated: The cannulated design means the screw has a hollow central core. This allows for the use of a guidewire, which helps ensure precise placement during surgery. The cannulated feature makes the insertion process more accurate and minimally invasive, reducing the risk of complications and improving recovery time.

Applications:
Fracture fixation: Cannulated cancellous screws are commonly used to fix fractures in the bones, particularly in joints or in cases where the bone structure is spongy and requires a screw that can maintain strength without the risk of breaking.

Joint surgeries: These screws are often employed in surgeries involving the hip, femur, tibia, or other joints, where a strong but lightweight fixation is necessary.

This type of screw is most commonly used in orthopedic surgery for stabilizing fractures in the femur, tibia, pelvis, and other bones with cancellous bone. The full threading ensures optimal purchase in the bone, while the titanium material ensures strength and biocompatibility for long-term use.

If you are considering this for surgical purposes, always consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate implant based on specific patient conditions and fracture types.
