COUNTERSINKABLE COMPRESSION CANNULATED SCREW
Countersinkable compression cannulated screw is indicated for small bone fractures around joints and thin soft tissue areas, with countersunk head to reduce soft tissue irritation and hardware prominence.
Key Features
Countersinkable head design allowing the screw to be recessed into cortical bone for a low-profile construct
Cannulated structure enabling precise guide-wire–assisted minimally invasive insertion
Compression thread geometry (variable pitch) to generate controlled interfragmentary compression
Self-tapping and self-drilling options to streamline surgical workflow
High-strength titanium or stainless steel materials ensuring durability and biocompatibility
Optimized thread design for strong purchase in cortical and cancellous bone
Compatibility with standard orthopedic instrumentation systems
Indications
Countersinkable compression cannulated screws are commonly used for:
Intra-articular and periarticular fractures
Tibial plateau fractures
Ankle fractures (malleolar fixation)
Small bone fractures of the hand and foot
Femoral neck and head fixation (selected cases)
Osteotomies requiring compression and low-profile fixation
Fragment fixation in trauma and reconstructive procedures
Clinical Advantages
Provides effective interfragmentary compression to promote primary bone healing
Reduced implant prominence through countersinking, lowering risk of soft tissue irritation
Enables minimally invasive, guide-wire–assisted placement
Improves patient comfort compared to standard headed screws
Enhances fixation stability in periarticular regions
Versatile application across multiple fracture types and anatomical sites
Options
Fully threaded and partially threaded compression designs
Variable thread pitch for controlled compression
Multiple diameters (commonly ranging from 3.0 mm to 7.3 mm systems depending on platform)
Different lengths for anatomical adaptability
Options for cortical, cancellous, and hybrid thread profiles
Cannulated screw sets compatible with standard guide wires
