The Synthes 458.944S is a 5.0 mm diameter titanium alloy locking screw, with a length of 44 mm, specifically designed for securing intramedullary (IM) nails used in long-bone fracture fixation. It features a 4.3 mm core diameter and is fully threaded to ensure uniform purchase across both cortices. This screw comes in sterile, self-cutting, trocar-tip form and includes a 3.5 mm hexagonal drive, with incremental thread spacing of 2 mm for precise placement control.

Constructed from titanium alloy, the screw balances strength with biocompatibility, minimizing risks like corrosion and MRI interference. The trocar tip allows self-cutting into bone, streamlining surgical workflows by removing pre-drilling steps. The fully threaded design secures strong fixation and works in concert with the IM nail's locking mechanism to maintain alignment and stability during fracture healing. The 3.5 mm hexagonal drive supports high torque application, while the 2 mm thread increment aids in precise depth control.
