• Model: 208.900 Synthes
• Diameter: 7.3mm
• Length: 100mm

The Synthes 208.900 7.3 mm Cannulated Screw (16 mm Thread / 100 mm Length) is a meticulously engineered orthopedic fastener designed to support stable fixation of large bone structures. Its 7.3 mm diameter, paired with a 4.5 mm core and 4.8 mm overall shaft diameter, ensures a strong and balanced screw structure that effectively withstands biomechanical load while preserving bone integrity. The stainless-steel construction provides robust durability and resistance to corrosion, essential qualities within the physiological environment.

Precision in guidance and insertion is a critical feature of this implant. The 2.9 mm cannulated design allows surgeons to use a guide wire for accurate placement, while the 16 mm threaded portion—with a coarser 2.75 mm pitch—offers firm anchoring in the distal bone fragment. The self-drilling and self-tapping characteristics simplify operative technique, reducing the need for separate drilling or tapping steps. Additionally, the large 8.2 mm hexagonal socket head offers improved instrument engagement, consolidating manipulation while minimizing slippage during insertion.

Clinically, the 208.900 screw is well-suited for applications where long, sturdy fixation is necessary, such as in femoral neck fractures, tibial plateau repair, or other diaphyseal fractures requiring interfragmentary compression. Its limited-thread design optimizes fragment compression without over-threading into the proximal segment, while its length (100 mm) allows bridging over comminuted zones. Whether in trauma or reconstructive settings, this screw is valued for its reliability, ease of insertion, and effective mechanical performance under load.

This medical supply or implant item is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's packaging, which remains undamaged. The inner and outer packaging is intact, ensuring the product's integrity and suitability for medical use.
