Cannulated screws are a common method of fixation used by orthopedic surgeons for multiple fracture patterns. These screws are "hollow" to allow them to be placed over a guidewire facilitating better alignment prior to drilling or screw insertion. The guidewire is then removed and the screw is left in place.
Available in headless and with-head types, with various sizes including 3.0, 4.0, 6.5, and 7.3mm.
