5.5mm Headless Cannulated Compression Screw - Star Drive
The 5.5mm Headless Cannulated Compression Screw is designed to provide reliable interfragmentary compression and stable fixation in fractures requiring minimal implant prominence. Made using medical-grade titanium, the screw features a headless design that allows it to be countersunk beneath the bone surface, reducing soft tissue irritation and minimizing the need for implant removal. Its cannulated construction enables precise placement over a guide wire, supporting accurate surgical insertion and improved procedural efficiency. The variable thread configuration generates controlled compression across the fracture site, promoting bone union and stability. Commonly used for fractures, nonunions, osteotomies, and arthrodesis procedures, the 5.5mm Headless Compression Screw helps surgeons achieve secure fixation while preserving surrounding anatomical structures.
The headless configuration allows the screw to sit below the bone surface, minimizing soft tissue irritation and implant prominence.
The hollow core enables insertion over a guide wire, ensuring accurate placement and enhanced surgical precision.
The self-drilling and sharp cutting flutes in the tip facilitate easier insertion by cutting its own path into the bone, reducing operative time and eliminating the need for pre-tapping in many cases.
Differential thread geometry generates controlled compression across the fracture site, promoting stable fixation and bone healing.
Manufactured from medical-grade titanium to provide excellent strength, durability, and biocompatibility.
Used for the fixation of intra-articular and long bone fractures, including femoral condyle fractures, patella fractures, and tibial fracture fragments, providing stable compression and reliable fracture stabilization.
Provides rigid compression across joint surfaces during ankle fusion procedures to support successful bone union.
Ideal for stabilizing bone cuts during calcaneal osteotomies and other reconstructive surgeries while promoting reliable healing.
Suitable for various corrective osteotomies requiring secure fixation of bone segments and enhanced healing conditions.
Our 5.5mm headless compression cannulated screws are available in different lengths along with a specific instrument set for accurate placement.
Suitable for larger bone fixation and fusion procedures, this cannulated headless screw ensures robust compression, excellent stability, and minimal implant prominence through its headless construction.
