subtalar screws
Subtalar screws represent a crucial advancement in orthopedic fixation technology, specifically designed for stabilizing and fusing the subtalar joint in the foot. These specialized medical devices are engineered with precision to provide optimal compression and stability during subtalar arthrodesis procedures. The screws feature carefully calibrated thread patterns that ensure secure bone purchase while minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. Manufactured from biocompatible materials such as titanium alloy or stainless steel, subtalar screws demonstrate excellent osseointegration properties and long-term durability. Their design incorporates both partially and fully threaded options, allowing surgeons to select the most appropriate configuration based on specific patient needs and anatomical considerations. The screws range in diameter from 6.5mm to 8.0mm, with various length options to accommodate different patient anatomies. Advanced surface treatments enhance their biocompatibility and resistance to wear, while specialized threading patterns promote optimal compression across the fusion site. These implants are essential in treating conditions such as subtalar arthritis, coalition, and post-traumatic deformities, providing a reliable solution for achieving successful joint fusion and improved patient outcomes.
