Synthes 202.613 3.0mm Cannulated Screw Short Thread/13mm

Synthes 3.0mm Cannulated Screw | Short Thread | 13mm | 202.613

The Synthes 202.613 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage and active interfragmentary compression in restricted anatomical corridors. As a 3.0mm diameter screw with a compact 13mm length, it is a specialized component of the Synthes Cannulated Screw System, designed for the most delicate bony structures.

The short-thread (lag) configuration is specifically designed to facilitate compression across a fracture or osteotomy site. By engaging threads only in the "far" fragment while the smooth proximal shaft glides through the "near" fragment, the screw head generates significant compressive force. This is essential for primary bone healing in small joints and phalangeal fragments where rotational stability is paramount.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision Guided Placement: The 1.2mm internal bore allows for accurate delivery over a 1.1mm guide wire. This enables the surgeon to verify the screw’s trajectory via fluoroscopy before final seating—a critical step when working near articular surfaces or growth plates.

• Micro-Fragment Compression: The 13mm length is ideal for small avulsion fractures or phalangeal stabilization. The lag effect ensures the fragments are pulled together tightly without the risk of the screw tip over-penetrating into adjacent joint spaces.

• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: Engineered with distal cutting flutes, this screw eliminates the need for separate pre-drilling and tapping in most cancellous applications. This minimizes surgical steps, reduces bone debris, and preserves the structural integrity of the narrow bone corridor.

• Ultra-Low Profile Cruciform Head: The cruciform drive allows for high torque application while maintaining a very slim head profile. This minimizes hardware prominence, which is vital in hand and foot surgery to prevent tendon irritation and preserve range of motion.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 202.613 provides the high fatigue strength and corrosion resistance required for long-term internal fixation in the extremities through 2026.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal base fractures, metacarpal head avulsions, and carpal bone stabilization (e.g., triquetrum or hamate).

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Stabilization of small-fragment metatarsal fractures or sesamoid bone injuries.

• Small Joint Arthrodesis: Providing stable compression for fusions in the DIP or PIP joints.

• Pediatric Trauma: Precise fixation of small epiphyseal fragments where the guide wire ensures the growth plate is avoided.
