Schanz Bone Screw w/Flat tip

Clinical Application

Used to establish rigid skeletal purchase for external fixation constructs and skeletal traction. The screw secures to clamps or rod systems to maintain alignment, control fragment position, and provide temporary or definitive stabilization in trauma and reconstructive procedures. Common anatomic sites include long bones and periarticular regions where percutaneous pin fixation is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The threaded shaft provides cortical engagement and radial purchase while the external-fixator-compatible head interfaces with clamps or rod connectors for secure frame assembly. A flat tip presents a broader cortical contact area compared with trocar-style tips and can reduce the tendency to unintentionally advance through opposing cortex when the surgeon requires more controlled insertion depth. The head geometry permits insertion and removal with standard drivers or chucking tools used in external fixation workflows.
