Synthes 217.080 6.5MM Cabcellous Bone Screw 32mm Thread 80mm

Synthes 6.5mm Cancellous Bone Screw | 32mm Thread | 80mm Length | 217.080

The Synthes 217.080 is a robust internal fixation implant specifically engineered for use in cancellous (spongy) bone. As a 6.5mm diameter screw with an 80mm total length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes Large Fragment System. This screw features a 32mm partial thread (standard long-thread configuration), which is the mechanical requirement for creating a "lag effect" to achieve high-pressure interfragmentary compression in large bone structures.

Forged from implant-grade 316L Stainless Steel, this screw is designed to provide maximum mechanical support in low-density bone environments where standard cortical screws would lack sufficient purchase.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Lag-Screw Compression: The 32mm thread length ensures that the threads engage the far (distal) fragment, while the smooth proximal shaft allows the screw head to draw the fragments together. This "lagging" technique is essential for primary bone healing in fractures of the femur and tibia.

• Large-Fragment Cancellous Geometry: The deep, widely spaced threads are specifically designed to "grip" the porous matrix of cancellous bone. This maximizes surface area contact, providing superior pull-out resistance compared to cortical designs.

• High Torque Hex Drive: The 3.5mm hexagonal recess is engineered to transmit the high levels of torque required to seat a large 6.5mm screw into dense metaphyseal bone without the risk of stripping the screw head.

• Low-Profile Spherical Head: The head is designed to sit flush within the counter-sunk holes of Synthes large fragment plates or directly against the bone surface with a 7.0mm washer to prevent hardware subsidence into the cortex.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue resistance, the material is biologically inert and designed to withstand the cyclic loads of weight-bearing during the recovery process.

Applications

• Hip Surgery: Stabilization of femoral neck fractures and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) where a non-cannulated option is preferred.

• Knee Trauma: Fixation of large tibial plateau or distal femoral condyle fragments.

• Pelvic Reconstruction: Securely anchoring sacroiliac (SI) joint disruptions or large pelvic ring fractures.

• Arthrodesis: Large-joint fusions (e.g., ankle or knee) requiring significant compressive force across the joint space.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed & Sterile.

• Integrity: This implant is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile peel-pouch. The packaging is intact, ensuring the product's sterility, material integrity, and full lot traceability for clinical implantation in 2026.
