Product Description
A 3.5 mm locking screw is an orthopedic fixation screw designed to be used with locking plates, featuring a threaded head that locks securely into the threaded holes of the plate to form a fixed-angle construct. With a 3.5 mm diameter, it is commonly used for fractures of small to medium bonessuch as the radius, ulna, clavicle, tibia, and fibulaproviding strong stability even in osteoporotic or comminuted bone where traditional plate-to-bone compression alone may be insufficient. By locking into the plate rather than relying solely on bone purchase, it maintains angular stability, reduces the risk of screw loosening, and supports reliable bone healing.
