cannulated compression screw
A cannulated compression screw represents a significant advancement in orthopedic fixation technology, designed to provide optimal stability and compression in bone fracture repair. This specialized surgical implant features a hollow central canal running through its length, allowing for precise placement over a guide wire. The design incorporates a threaded portion that engages with bone tissue and a smooth shaft that enables controlled compression across fracture sites. The screw's innovative architecture combines surgical grade stainless steel or titanium alloy with precision engineering to ensure maximum strength and biocompatibility. Its self-tapping threads enhance insertion efficiency while minimizing bone damage, and the variable thread pitch facilitates optimal compression. The cannulated design not only aids in accurate placement but also reduces the risk of surgical complications by allowing surgeons to verify positioning through radiographic imaging before final implantation. These screws come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different anatomical requirements and fracture patterns, making them versatile tools in orthopedic surgery. Their application spans from small bone fixation in the foot and ankle to larger procedures involving hip fractures, particularly in the treatment of femoral neck fractures where precise placement is crucial for successful outcomes.
