AO Counter Sink For Small Screws

Description

AO Counter Sink For Small Screws

The small screw countersink cuts a seat for small fragment screw heads. Therefore the heads sit flush and spread their load across the bone.

Small fragment work

Small fragment screws fix bones such as the forearm, ankle and hand. Meanwhile, the bone there can be thin. Besides, a proper seat helps avoid cracks.

Size listed

The countersink is listed for 2 mm and 2.7 / 3.5 / 4 mm screws. Check this against your system. Furthermore, we can help confirm.

Who uses a small screw countersink

Trauma, hand and foot surgeons use it with small lag screws. It also suits osteotomy fixation. Moreover, it is part of most small fragment sets.

Technique

Place the countersink in the drilled hole. Then turn a few times by hand. Stop once a shallow seat appears.

Fewer prominent heads

Flush screw heads irritate tissue less. Consequently, patients may need hardware removal less often. That is a real benefit.
