3.5mm Locking Cortical Screw System | Titanium & SS | Small Fragment Fracture Fixation for Trauma Surgery

Advanced 3.5mm Locking Screw for Small Fragment Systems

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to supplying high-precision orthopedic implants to medical professionals and distributors worldwide. Our 3.5mm Locking Screw is a cornerstone of the Small Fragment System, designed to address fractures in bones such as the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, proximal radius, distal humerus, distal tibia, and fibula. As a trusted B2B partner, we ensure that every screw meets rigorous international quality standards.

The OrthoPro 3.5mm locking cortical screw is engineered to work seamlessly with our locking compression plates. Unlike conventional screws that rely on friction between the plate and the bone, the head of our locking screw threads directly into the plate. This creates a fixed-angle construct that acts as an “internal fixator,” providing superior holding power, particularly in patients with poor bone quality or osteoporosis.

Key Engineering Features

Our manufacturing process focuses on precision and reliability. The 3.5mm locking screw incorporates several advanced design features:

• Angular Stability: The threaded head locks securely into the plate hole, preventing screw toggle and back-out. This stability allows for unicortical fixation in certain scenarios and preserves the periosteal blood supply by eliminating the need for plate-to-bone compression.
• Self-Tapping Flutes: The tip of the screw is designed with sharp cutting flutes that clear debris and cut the thread path during insertion. This self-tapping feature significantly reduces surgical time and simplifies the instrumentation required.
• Optimized Thread Profile: The thread depth and pitch are calculated to maximize pull-out strength in both cortical and cancellous bone regions of small fragments.
• High Torque Transmission: Available in Star (Torx) or Hexagonal drive recesses. The Star drive option is particularly popular for its ability to transmit higher torque without stripping the screw head, ensuring safe insertion and removal.
• Material Options: We offer these screws in high-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) for superior biocompatibility and MRI compatibility, as well as Medical Grade Stainless Steel (316L).

Clinical Indications

The 3.5mm locking cortical screw is versatile and indicated for a wide range of trauma surgeries. It is the primary fixation element for the Small Fragment LCP (Locking Compression Plate) system. Common applications include:

• Upper Extremities: Fixation of fractures in the distal humerus, proximal and distal radius/ulna, and clavicle.
• Lower Extremities: Treatment of ankle fractures (distal fibula and tibia), calcaneus, and metatarsals.
• Pelvic and Acetabular: Used in specific plating configurations for pelvic ring stabilization.
• Osteotomies: providing rigid fixation for corrective bone surgeries.
