Schanz Bone Screw w/Trocar tip

Clinical Application

Designed for placement as skeletal anchors in external fixation and traction constructs, this Schanz-style bone screw with a trocar tip provides a percutaneous fixation option for long bones and pelvic applications. The trocar point facilitates precise cortical entry for trauma, deformity correction, and temporary stabilization procedures where rigid pin purchase is required prior to frame assembly or definitive fixation.

Design & Configuration

The combination of a threaded shank and a sharp trocar tip supports controlled percutaneous insertion and reliable cortical engagement. The trocar geometry reduces skiving at the bone surface to help establish an accurate trajectory, while the solid threaded core resists bending and provides mechanical strength under load. The head and driving interface are configured to accept standard orthopedic insertion tools for secure, repeatable placement.
