The Synthes 214.556 is a 4.5 mm cannulated screw, measuring 56 mm in length, designed for secure fixation in small bone fractures or osteotomies. Its partially threaded configuration—covering approximately one-third of the screw length—ensures controlled compression and minimizes over-penetration, making it ideal for applications in areas like the hand, wrist, or small metatarsal bones. The 1.75 mm cannulation allows for wire-guided insertion, facilitating minimally invasive procedures with high accuracy.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the 214.556 combines strength and biocompatibility, ensuring reliable performance and reduced risk of adverse reactions. The self-drilling and self-tapping design eliminates the need for pre-drilling or tapping, streamlining the surgical process and reducing instrument complexity. The 1.75 mm thread pitch provides a balance between ease of insertion and secure fixation, while the large hexagonal socket head allows for precise torque application, enhancing surgical control.

Clinically, the 214.556 is particularly suited for delicate orthopedic procedures requiring minimal hardware footprint and precise placement. Its compatibility with standard Synthes instrumentation, including the 3.2 mm threaded-hole and 4.5 mm gliding-hole drill bits, ensures seamless integration into established surgical workflows. Whether used in small joint fusions, phalangeal fractures, or other small-bone applications, the Synthes 214.556 offers a dependable solution for achieving stable fixation in challenging anatomical regions.
