What is a Cannulated Screw?

The Synthes cannulated screw is a specialized orthopedic device designed for surgical applications. It features a hollow shaft, allowing for easy insertion over a guide wire. This design enhances accuracy during placement, and it is particularly useful in fracture fixation or joint stabilization. Because of its innovative structure, orthopedists can install the screw with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, leading to shorter recovery times for patients.
