Cannulated Cancellous Screws – An Overview
You will find two types of 4.45mm cannulated cancellous screws: Half thread and Full thread at Sharma Orthopedic. These are one of the most integral parts of the entire orthopedic screw system that we entail, owing to its usage in various procedures, such as fixing fractures or any other metaphyseal bone repair surgery.
Cannulated Cancellous Screws Available At Sharma Orthopedics
The application of cannulated cancellous screws for bone fusion is based on their proper construction and accuracy. Sharma Orthopedic has monitored all the production steps of these screws. Proper testing and simulations are conducted before the orthopedic instruments reach you. We have made these screws available to our clients in two compositions:
- Stainless Steel 316L and 316 LVM
- Titanium
The 4.5 cannulated screws are of the self-tapping property. It means that they can on their own create a path through the bone for insertion in the desired place.
You can find them in many more sizes on our website.
Indications of Cannulated Cancellous Screws (Uses)
Majorly, the cannulated cancellous screws are used for the metaphyseal fractures. Some of the other uses are:
Fixation of valgus impacted hip fracture
Medial malleolar and posterior malleolar fracture
Distal humerus fracture, Sacral fracture
Knee fractures, such as distal femur fracture, femoral condyle fracture, patellar fracture
Ankle arthrodesis
Fibula fracture, Distal tibia, and pilon fracture
How do Cannulated Cancellous Screws Work?
The cannulated cancellous screws have a hollow central shaft which makes them appropriate for the metaphyseal fractures. With just the help of a guide wire, these screws can get inserted into the bone. The guide pin is very tiny in diameter, which makes its entry into the fractured bone smooth without causing any displacement.
Furthermore, the screws can be inserted multiple times to get placed at the desired spot. Thankfully, there is no or less damage to the bone.
Full thread screws available at Sharma Orthopedics are used for stabilizing the fragmented bone without any external compression on the fracture. The bone requires to be immobilized to ensure complete fusion and proper healing. These screws help with the same most efficiently and, hence, are considered to be an important part of the orthopedic products.
The half-thread cannulated cancellous screws are intended to be used to bring one part of the bone closer to the other. The pieces of bone are held together by the thread of the screw’s head side and then pulled towards the cortex part of the bone.
Along with the bone stability, these screws also ensure minimal invasion into the surrounding percutaneous tissues. They also accelerate the healing process due to their ability of non-invasive treatment.
