A small diameter rod typically used for the fixation of a bone fracture or bone grafts, or for an osteotomy or arthrodesis. The rod may be smooth, wholly- or partially-threaded, solid or cannulated, and some designs may be tapered; it is not specific to the clavicle bone. The device is made of a material that is not chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes (e.g., implant grade metal, surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fiber). Some designs may have a break-off shank and/or may be coated [e.g., with hydroxyapatite, also known as hydroxylapatite (HA)] to improve purchase in osteoporotic bone and for long-term fixation. This is a single-use device.

The Synthes 293.74 Steinmann Pin delivers dependable fixation in external skeletal constructs where strength and precision are paramount. At 200 mm in length and a 5.0 mm shaft diameter, this pin is engineered to engage deep cortical structures securely—particularly valuable in large external fixation assemblies like those used around long bones or pelvis construction. The additional central threading (measuring 5.5 mm in diameter) enhances anchoring without compromising the overall strength of the stainless steel shank.

Designed as a single-use, non-sterile component, the pin ensures surgical efficiency without cross-contamination risk, provided standard sterilization protocols are applied. Its alignment with Synthes's large external fixator components makes it a critical part of trauma and reconstructive toolkits. The robust material and thread configuration contribute to stable fixation, especially when subjected to dynamic loading during limb realignment or arthrodesis procedures.

Given its design, the 293.74 pin functions as both a structural anchor and a mechanical interface within comprehensive external fixation systems. Its central thread enables secure attachment to fixation clamps and rods, fostering biomechanical integrity across multi-planar constructs. The pin’s specifications—and its place in the Synthes catalog—underscore its role as a precision-engineered, reliable, and essential orthopedic component.
