Synthes 207.616 4.0mm Cannulated Screw Short Thread/16mm

Synthes 4.0mm Cannulated Screw | Short Thread | 16mm | 207.616

The Synthes 207.616 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage and active interfragmentary compression in cancellous and metaphyseal bone. As a 4.0mm diameter screw with a compact 16mm length, it is a specialized component of the Synthes 4.0mm/4.5mm Cannulated Screw System.

The short-thread design is specifically engineered to function as a lag screw. By ensuring the threads only engage the "far" bone fragment while the smooth proximal shaft glides through the "near" fragment, the screw head draws the two pieces together. This creates high-tension compression across the fracture line, which is essential for promoting primary bone healing.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision Guided Placement: The 1.35mm internal bore allows the screw to be delivered over a pre-placed 1.25mm guide wire. This enables the surgeon to confirm the trajectory via fluoroscopy before the screw is seated, facilitating minimally invasive percutaneous placement and reducing soft-tissue disruption.

• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: The distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes that eliminate the need for separate drilling and tapping steps in most cancellous bone applications. This reduces operative time and minimizes instrumentation requirements on the surgical field.

• Low-Profile Periarticular Fixation: At a compact 16mm, this screw is ideal for stabilizing small bone fragments or avulsion fractures where a longer screw would risk over-penetration into the joint space or damage to adjacent soft-tissue structures.

• Optimized Compression Profile: The 1.75mm thread pitch is designed to provide rapid advancement and high pull-out resistance, ensuring that the interfragmentary compression achieved during insertion is maintained throughout the early stages of recovery.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 207.616 is highly corrosion-resistant and biologically inert, ensuring mechanical reliability throughout the 2026 healing cycle.

Applications

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Fixation of small malleolar fragments, calcaneal osteotomies, and midfoot fusions.

• Hand & Wrist: Stabilization of distal radius fragments or carpal fractures requiring guided compression.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Precise fixation of epiphyseal fractures (Salter-Harris) where the guide wire protects the growth plate during planning.

• Small Fragment Trauma: Stabilization of avulsion fractures or small fragments around the elbow, knee, or ankle.

Condition & Quality Assurance
