Synthes 204.875 3.5mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 75mm Orthopedic Hardware

Synthes 204.875 3.5mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 75mm Orthopedic Hardware

As a 3.5mm diameter screw with an extra-long 75mm length, it is a specialized component of the Synthes Small Fragment System. This screw is engineered for "long-track" stabilization where standard small-fragment screws are insufficient, particularly in pelvic reconstruction, complex tibial plateau fractures, and calcaneal fixation.

Technical specifications

Additional product details

• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Thread Profile: Self-Tapping / Fully Threaded
• Screw Length: 75 mm (Extended Reach)
• Thread Pitch: 1.25 mm
• Core Diameter: 2.4 mm
• Head Type: 6.0 mm Head with Small Hexagonal Socket
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Extended Reach Stabilization: The 75mm length allows for bicortical fixation in wide anatomical planes, such as the ilium or across the calcaneus, where a standard 3.5mm screw would fall short.
• High-Torque Hex Drive: The hexagonal recess is designed to transmit the significant torque required to seat a 75mm screw into dense bone without the risk of "cam-out" or stripping the screw head.
• Universal Plate Compatibility: The 6.0mm spherical head is designed to sit flush within the non-locking portion of Synthes LCP (Locking Compression Plate) Combi-holes or standard 3.5mm DCP/LC-DCP holes.
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to withstand the cyclic loads encountered during the early stages of rehabilitation.
• Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery: Stabilization of pelvic ring disruptions or acetabular fractures requiring long-track cortical anchorage.
• Foot & Ankle Trauma: Fixation of complex calcaneal fractures or large-fragment pilon fractures.
• Knee Trauma: Providing "rafting" support or interfragmentary compression in large tibial plateau fragments where 75mm of depth is required.
• Non-union/Malunion Repairs: Utilizing extended lengths to bypass previous hardware tracks and achieve fresh cortical purchase.
• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed & Sterile.
• Integrity: This implant is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile peel-pouch. The packaging is intact, ensuring the product's sterility, material integrity, and full lot traceability for clinical implantation in 2026.
