What is a Cannulated Screw?

A cannulated screw is a specialized type of screw used primarily in orthopedic surgery. It features a hollow shaft that allows for the introduction of a guide wire, making placement easier and more accurate. This design is important, because it aids in reducing the need for extensive surgical exposure, which can lead to quicker recovery times for patients.

Features of the Synthes Cannulated Screw

The Synthes 214.748 4.5mm Cannulated Screw is fully threaded and measures 48mm in length. This fully threaded design provides enhanced grip and stability in skeletal fixation. The 4.5mm diameter is optimal for various applications, allowing surgeons to securely anchor the screw in both bone and soft tissue, ensuring a solid structural support during healing processes.

Benefits of Using Cannulated Screws

Cannulated screws, like the Synthes model, offer numerous advantages in surgical settings. Firstly, they facilitate precise alignment and placement due to the guiding mechanism. Secondly, they can be inserted using minimally invasive techniques, which lower the risk of complications and promote faster recovery times. Therefore, they have become a preferred choice among orthopedic surgeons for various fixation needs.
