Synthes 207.060 4.0mm cancellous bone screw partially threaded 60mm orthopedic hardware

Synthes 4.0mm Cancellous Bone Screw | Partially Threaded | 60mm | 207.060

The Synthes 207.060 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered specifically for anchorage in cancellous (spongy) bone. As a 4.0mm diameter screw with a 60mm length, it is a vital component of the Synthes Small Fragment System. Unlike cortical screws, this cancellous-specific design features a deeper thread profile and a wider 1.75mm pitch, optimized for the lower-density bone found in the epiphyses and metaphyses of long bones.

The partially threaded configuration is a critical mechanical feature. By having threads only on the distal portion of the screw, the smooth proximal shank allows the screw to glide through the "near" bone fragment. As the distal threads engage the "far" fragment, the screw head draws the fragments together, creating powerful interfragmentary compression (the "lag" effect) essential for primary bone healing.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Enhanced Pull-out Resistance: The deep, wide-pitch threads are designed to "trap" a larger volume of cancellous bone between the thread flights. This provides superior purchase in osteoporotic or low-density bone compared to standard cortical threads.

• Lag Screw Efficiency: The partially threaded design eliminates the need to over-drill the near cortex (step-drilling), as the smooth 2.4mm shank inherently prevents the screw from engaging the near fragment. This simplifies the surgical technique for achieving fracture compression.

• Low-Profile Spherical Head: Engineered to sit flush within the 3.5mm LCP (Locking Compression Plate) Combi-holes, LC-DCP, and DCP systems, minimizing hardware prominence and soft-tissue irritation.

• High-Torque Hex Drive: The 2.5mm hexagonal recess ensures efficient torque transmission during insertion into dense metaphyseal bone, reducing the risk of "cam-out" or head stripping.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to withstand the complex loading forces encountered in articular and metaphyseal fractures.

Applications

• Metaphyseal Fractures: Fixation of the distal radius, proximal humerus, or malleolar fractures where cancellous purchase is required.

• Articular Reconstruction: Compressing intra-articular fracture lines to ensure joint surface congruity.

• Plate Fixation: Using the screw through a 3.5mm plate system to achieve interfragmentary compression before applying locking or neutralization screws.

• Osteotomies: Stabilizing and compressing bone-cut sites in reconstructive extremity surgery.
