Synthes 204.838 3.5mm Cortex Screw Self Tapping 38mm

Synthes 204.838 3.5mm Cortex Screw Self Tapping 38mm

As a 3.5mm diameter screw with an extended 38mm length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes Small Fragment System. This screw is designed to provide maximum compression and stability in diaphyseal bone, particularly in larger long bones where significant bicortical depth is required to achieve a stable construct.
