Synthes 214.752 4.5mm Cannulated Screw Fully Threaded/52mm

Synthes 4.5mm Cannulated Screw | Fully Threaded | 52mm | 214.752

The Synthes 214.752 is a high-precision internal fixation implant engineered for stable anchorage in cancellous and metaphyseal bone. As a 4.5mm diameter screw with a 52mm overall length and a fully threaded profile, it is a versatile component of the Synthes 4.5mm Cannulated Screw System.

Unlike partially threaded "lag" screws, the fully threaded design is engineered for positional fixation. This ensures that the threads engage both bone fragments across the fracture line, maintaining the precise anatomical relationship without active compression—critical in multi-fragmentary fractures where compression might cause fragment collapse or shortening.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Guided Precision: The 1.75mm internal bore allows the screw to be delivered over a pre-placed 1.6mm guide wire. This allows the surgeon to confirm the trajectory via fluoroscopy before the screw is seated, enabling minimally invasive percutaneous placement and reducing surgical trauma.

• Maximized Surface Area Engagement: The full-length threading provides superior pull-out resistance, particularly in osteoporotic or soft metaphyseal bone. It acts as a "neutralization" device, protecting the fracture from shear and rotational forces during the healing process.

• 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 the number of instrument passes in the surgical field.

• High-Torque Drive Interface: The 3.5mm hexagonal socket provides a robust interface for high-torque insertion into dense bone, minimizing the risk of head stripping or "cam-out" during final seating.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 214.752 is highly corrosion-resistant and biologically inert, ensuring long-term mechanical reliability within the body.

Applications

• Ankle & Foot Surgery: Fixation of malleolar fractures, calcaneal osteotomies, and subtalar or midfoot fusions.

• Trauma Reconstruction: Positional stabilization of large metaphyseal fragments in the proximal or distal tibia.

• Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery: Providing stable anchorage in pelvic ring disruptions where a 4.5mm diameter offers the necessary shear strength and 52mm provides adequate depth for bicortical purchase.

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

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: This implant is securely housed within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both inner and outer seals are intact, ensuring full material integrity and suitability for clinical use.
