Leg Screw SS

£100.00

Size: The screw appears to be 6.5mm in diameter, making it a relatively large screw suitable for use in larger bones.
Material: The screw is made of stainless steel, a common material used in orthopedic implants due to its strength and biocompatibility.
Shape: The screw has a cylindrical body with a sharp tip for easy insertion into bone. It also features a distinct head with a flat top, which likely has a slot for a screwdriver or a specialized tool for tightening the screw.
Thread: The screw has a threaded shaft, which helps to secure it in place within the bone and provides a strong mechanical hold. The thread pattern on leg screws is designed to engage with cortical bone, which is the dense outer layer of bone.
Cannulation: The screw has a hollow channel running through its center. This cannulation allows for the passage of a guidewire or other instruments, which can be helpful during surgical procedures, especially in cases where precise placement is critical.
