Product Description
Cortical Screws
Have closely-spaced, shallow threads and larger core-to-the-outer diameter ratios
Are stronger than cancellous screws of the same outer diameter
Are usually blunt ended
When used to fix plates to long bones, fully-threaded screws are used in order to fixate both cortices so that maximal stability is achieved
The blunt end should extend few millimeters into the soft tissues beyond the far cortex to minimize damage to the soft tissue
