Synthes 206.010 4.0MM Cancellous Bone Screw Fully Threaded 10mm

Synthes 4.0mm Cancellous Bone Screw | Fully Threaded | 10mm Length | 206.010

The Synthes 206.010 is a precision-engineered internal fixation screw designed specifically for use in cancellous (spongy) bone. As a 4.0mm diameter screw with a fully threaded profile, it is optimized for applications where maximum thread-to-bone contact is required to maintain stable fixation in low-density bone. The ultra-short 10mm length makes it an essential component for the fixation of small bone fragments, particularly in the hand, foot, or thin metaphyseal areas where longer screws would risk over-penetrating the far cortex.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Cancellous Thread Geometry: The deep, widely spaced threads are specifically designed to "grip" the porous matrix of cancellous bone. The fully threaded design ensures that the screw provides consistent anchorage along its entire 10mm length.

• Superior Pull-out Resistance: By maximizing the thread-to-bone surface area in the short 10mm span, the 206.010 provides a high degree of stability, which is critical in preventing fragment displacement during the early biological stages of bone healing.

• Hexagonal Drive Precision: The 2.5mm hexagonal recess allows for the transmission of high insertion torque without the risk of "cam-out" or stripping the screw head, ensuring secure final seating even in dense metaphyseal bone.

• Low-Profile Spherical Head: The head is designed to sit flush within the counter-sunk holes of Synthes small fragment plates (e.g., 3.5mm LCP or DCP systems) or directly against the bone surface with a washer to prevent hardware subsidence.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to withstand the cyclic loads of functional rehabilitation.

Applications

• Hand and Foot Surgery: Fixation of small carpal or tarsal fragments where space is extremely limited.

• Trauma Surgery: Stabilization of small avulsion fractures or micro-fragments in periarticular regions (e.g., radial head or malleolar tips).

• Plate Fixation: Serving as a "neutralization" screw when used through 3.5mm LCP or DCP plating systems in regions of thin cancellous bone.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Epiphyseal or metaphyseal fracture fixation where avoiding the growth plate requires ultra-short hardware.
