Synthes 3.0mm Cannulated Screw | Short Thread | 32mm | 202.632

The Synthes 202.632 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage and active interfragmentary compression in small bone structures. As a 3.0mm diameter screw with a 32mm length, it is a specialized component of the Synthes Cannulated Screw System.

The short-thread design is specifically engineered to function as a "lag screw." By ensuring the threads only engage the "far" bone fragment while the smooth proximal shaft glides through the "near" fragment, the screw head draws the two pieces together. This creates high-tension compression across the fracture line, which is essential for promoting primary bone healing and achieving rotational stability in the extremities.

Key Specifications

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision Guided Placement: The 1.2mm internal bore allows the screw to be delivered over a pre-placed 1.1mm guide wire. This enables the surgeon to confirm the trajectory via fluoroscopy before the screw is seated, facilitating minimally invasive percutaneous placement and reducing soft-tissue disruption.

• Controlled Interfragmentary Compression: The smooth proximal shaft prevents "thread-locking" in the near fragment. This ensures that the rotational force of insertion is converted entirely into compressive force at the fracture site, promoting rapid biological union.

• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: The distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes that eliminate the need for separate drilling and tapping steps in most cancellous bone applications. This reduces operative time and minimizes thermal damage to the bone.

• Ultra-Low Profile Head: The cruciform recess head is designed to sit flush against the bone or within a counter-sink. This is essential in hand and foot surgery where hardware prominence can lead to tendon irritation or limited range of motion.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from cold-worked surgical steel, the 202.632 offers high fatigue strength and the corrosion resistance required for long-term internal fixation in the extremities through 2026.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal and metacarpal fractures, and stabilization of carpal fusions.

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Stabilization of small-fragment metatarsal fractures and osteochondral fragment fixation in the talus.

• Small Joint Arthrodesis: Providing stable compression for fusions in the PIP or DIP joints of the digits.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation of small epiphyseal fractures where guided placement is necessary to protect the growth plate.
