Indications for the 2.0mm Locking Screw

The 2.0mm Locking Screw is a versatile implant suitable for a wide range of orthopedic procedures, particularly those involving small bone fractures. It is commonly used in:

• Hand and wrist surgery: The screw is ideal for fixing fractures in the metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges, as well as for treating conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and scaphoid fractures.
• Foot surgery: The 2.0mm Locking Screw can be used to treat fractures in the metatarsals and phalanges, as well as for correcting deformities like bunions.
• Ankle surgery: The screw can be used in ankle fractures, particularly those involving the distal tibia or fibula.
• Osteotomy procedures: The screw can be used in osteotomies to correct bone deformities or realign joints.
• Internal fixation: The screw can be used in conjunction with other fixation methods to provide additional stability and support for complex fractures.

The 2.0mm Locking Screw’s small size and secure fixation make it a valuable tool for orthopedic surgeons treating a variety of conditions in the upper and lower extremities.

How Does a 2.0mm Locking Screw Work?

The 2.0mm Locking Screw is a small, self-tapping screw designed to provide secure fixation for small bone fractures. It works by being inserted into pre-drilled holes in the bone and then tightening to hold the fractured bone segments in place.

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Pre-operative planning: The surgeon carefully assesses the fracture and determines the appropriate size and number of screws needed.
2. Surgical implantation: During surgery, the surgeon makes an incision over the fracture site and prepares the bone for screw insertion.
3. Bone preparation: Small holes are drilled into the bone at specific locations, ensuring they are aligned with the fracture lines.
4. Screw insertion: The 2.0mm Locking Screw is inserted into the prepared holes and gently tightened. The screw’s self-tapping design allows it to cut threads into the bone, creating a secure and stable fixation.
5. Locking mechanism activation: Once the screw is in place, the locking mechanism is activated. This typically involves tightening a secondary screw or using a special tool to secure the primary screw in place, preventing it from loosening over time.
6. Healing and rehabilitation: As the bone heals around the screw, it becomes securely anchored in place. Rehabilitation exercises are typically prescribed to help restore strength and function to the affected area.

The 2.0mm Locking Screw is a versatile and effective tool for treating small bone fractures. Its compact size, self-tapping design, and locking mechanism provide a reliable and secure solution for orthopedic surgeons.
