Buying advice

Choose a screw based on bone quality, fragment size, and surgical technique. Titanium locking screws are ideal for osteoporotic or high-stress situations, while stainless steel cancellous screws offer a cost-effective option for standard fixation. Cannulated designs simplify guidewire placement, and variable-angle systems provide flexibility in complex anatomy. Balance price, strength, and compatibility with your instrumentation suite when making a final decision.
