Additional product details

• The partially threaded (lag) design is specifically engineered to draw two bone fragments together.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Thread Type: Partially Threaded (Lag Design)
• Thread Pitch: 1.75 mm
• Cannulation: 1.75 mm (Compatible with 1.6mm Guide Wires)
• Drive Type: 3.5 mm Large Hexagonal Socket
• Features: Self-Drilling, Self-Tapping, Cannulated
• Quantity: 1 Each
• Precision Guided Placement: The 1.75mm internal bore allows for accurate delivery over a 1.6mm guide wire. This enables the surgeon to verify the trajectory via fluoroscopy before final seating—essential for percutaneous applications in the hip, pelvis, or ankle.
• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: Engineered with distal cutting flutes, this screw eliminates the need for separate drilling and tapping steps in most cancellous bone applications.
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 214.568 offers the high fatigue strength and corrosion resistance required for long-term internal fixation throughout the 2026 recovery cycle.
• Ankle & Foot Surgery: Fixation of large malleolar fractures and calcaneal osteotomies.
• Metaphyseal Trauma: Stabilization of large avulsion fractures or periarticular fragments in the proximal or distal tibia.
• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation of epiphyseal fractures where the guide wire protects the growth plate during planning.
• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.
• Integrity: The implant is securely housed within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both inner and outer seals are intact, ensuring full material integrity and suitability for surgical use.
