The Synthes 202.608 is a finely engineered, miniature cannulated screw designed for delicate orthopedic tasks requiring extremely precise fixation. At just 8 mm in length and measuring 3 mm across, it is aptly suited for small-bone applications—such as fractures of the phalanges or small joint arthrodeses—where minimal hardware footprint is essential. The short-thread design (thread length being approximately one-third of the total screw length) allows for controlled interfragmentary compression while ensuring that the unthreaded portion seats firmly, preventing over-penetration through the opposing cortex.

Cannulated down to a 1.2 mm central channel, this screw allows for wire-guided insertion—a key feature for percutaneous and high-precision placement. Surgeons can gently guide the implant along a 2 mm threaded-hole drill bit, ensuring accurate trajectory and minimizing soft tissue disruption. The cruciform recess head not only supports low profile to reduce soft tissue irritation but also provides secure driver engagement. Made from robust stainless steel, the 202.608 combines mechanical strength with biocompatibility ideal for short-term and potential long-term fixation needs.

The integrated self-drilling and self-tapping tip simplifies surgical execution by eliminating the requirement for pre-drilling or tapping, saving both time and instrumentation. The 1.25 mm thread pitch balances ease of insertion with holding strength in cortical bone. Despite its diminutive size, the screw maintains enough structural integrity through its 1.9 mm core, delivering dependable fixation. In surgical scenarios where precision is paramount—such as hand or foot procedures, phalangeal fusions, or small periarticular fractures—the Synthes 202.608 provides a smart, streamlined, and reliable solution that aligns with both surgical accuracy and established instrumentation protocols.
