Cannulated screws are a type of orthopedic implant designed with a hollow central core (cannulation) that allows them to be guided over a wire or pin during insertion. This design ensures precise placement and alignment, making them a valuable tool in fracture fixation and bone stabilization. Types of Cannulated screws Based on Thread Design Fully [...]
Cannulated screws are a type of orthopedic screw that have a hollow central shaft, allowing them to be placed over a guide wire. This design facilitates precise placement and alignment, particularly in complex or minimally invasive surgical procedures. Features and Design Hollow Core: The central hollow shaft (cannulation) allows the screw to be guided over [...]
Cannulated screws are hollow screws that have a hollow central shaft. It is to be noted that cortical and cancellous screws both can be cannulated. In orthopedic surgery, the use of cannulated cancellous screws is generally for metaphyseal fractures. The surgeons use cannulated and noncannulated cortical screws for fixation of diaphyseal fractures. In that case, [...]
