Synthes 208.895 7.3mm Cannulated Screw 16mm Threaded 95mm

Synthes 7.3mm Cannulated Screw | 16mm Thread | 95mm Length | 208.895

The Synthes 208.895 is a high-load internal fixation implant designed for the stabilization of major fractures in large bone structures. As a 7.3mm diameter cannulated screw, it features a hollow central core designed for precise placement over a pre-positioned 2.8mm guide wire. This system is the gold standard for "percutaneous" or minimally invasive techniques, allowing the surgeon to confirm anatomical alignment via fluoroscopy before the screw is advanced.

The 16mm Short Thread configuration is specifically engineered to provide a powerful lag effect. By ensuring the 16mm of thread bypasses the fracture line and engages only the distal fragment, the smooth proximal shaft allows the screw head to draw the bone fragments together, generating high-pressure interfragmentary compression.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Guide-Wire Precision: The cannulated design is essential for hip and pelvic trauma. Once the 2.8mm guide wire trajectory is verified, the screw follows the wire exactly, eliminating the risk of "wandering" in dense cancellous bone.

• Maximum Interfragmentary Compression: The 16mm thread length is ideal for "lagging" large fragments. Because the threads do not engage the proximal bone, the screw acts as a mechanical vice, pulling the distal fragment toward the head to close the fracture gap.

• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: The distal tip features high-efficiency cutting flutes that allow the screw to be inserted directly over the guide wire in most cancellous bone applications, reducing operative steps and anesthesia time.

• High-Torque Hex Drive: The 4.0mm hexagonal recess provides the structural integrity required to transmit the high torque levels necessary for deep insertion into the femoral neck or sacroiliac joint without stripping.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged for high fatigue resistance, this material is designed to withstand the massive cyclic loads associated with weight-bearing in hip and pelvic fractures.

Applications

• Hip Surgery: Fixation of femoral neck fractures (intracapsular) using parallel screw configurations.

• Pelvic Trauma: Stabilization of sacroiliac (SI) joint disruptions and vertical shear fractures where a long reach (95mm) is required.

• Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): Secure fixation of the epiphysis in pediatric/adolescent patients.

• Ankle Arthrodesis: Large-joint fusions requiring massive compressive force across the joint space.
