2.0mm Medical Cortical Screw

Mini fragment refers to a type of orthopedic implant used to fix small bones and bone fragments, typically those measuring 2.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter. These implants are commonly used in hand and foot surgeries, as well as other surgeries that involve small bone fragments.    Cortical screws are defined by their smaller pitch and greater number of threads. Their thread diameter to core diameter ratio is less, and they are fully threaded. As their name suggests, cortical screws are used in cortical bone; also known as compact bone, this is the dense outer surface of bone that forms a protective layer around the internal cavity. It makes up nearly 80% of skeletal mass and is extremely important to body strucure and weight bearing (it is highly resistant to bending and torsion).
