2.0MM CANNULATED HERBERT SCREW
Specification
- Herbert Screws have headless design, it means that the screw is completely embedded in the bone, without any protrusions to cause tissue irritation even in intra-articular placement.
- Cannulation helps ensure precise placement of the screw.
- Herbert Cannulated Guide Pins hold the fragment and act as guides for drilling, tapping, and screw placement.
- The thread design of the Screw creates compression and provides fracture stability. As the proximal threads engage the bone, the fracture is drawn together, helping to create and maintain stability of the fracture site.
- Screws available in both Titanium and Stainless Steel.
Uses
Herbert Screws are designed for the management of fractures where minimal tissue coverage makes standard screw use inappropriate or where extreme precision in fragment alignment is imperative. Such locations might include fractures of the:
- Olecranon and malleolar region
- Distal femur
- Proximal tibia
- Distal tibia
- 2.5 mm and 3 mm Herbert Screws are indicated for fixation of fractures and nonunions of small bones and small bone arthrodeses, including scaphoid fractures; intraarticular fractures of the tarsals, metatarsals, carpals and metacarpals; bunionectomies and osteotomies; arthrodeses of small joints (e.g. phalanges); fractures of the patella, ulna and radial styloid.
- 3.5 mm and 4.5 mm Herbert Screws are intended for fixation of intra-articular and extra-articular fractures and nonunions of small bones and small bone fragments; arthrodeses of small joint; bunionectomies and osteotomies, including scaphoid and other carpal bones, metacarpals, tarsals, metatarsals, patella, ulnar styloid, capitellum, radial head and radial styliod.
- 5.5 mm and 6.5 Herbert Screws are indicated for fracture fixation, reconstruction, osteotomy, and arthrodesis of various bones and bone fragments including joint fusions (arthrodeses) in the foot and fixation of intra-articular fractures of the humerus, femur and tibia.
