INTERFACE™ Fixation Half-pins,
Cancellous Thread Profile
IMEX™ INTERFACE™ fixation half-pins with cancellous thread profile feature a deep thread with larger pitch than standard thread INTERFACE™ fixation pins. These pins have proven particularly effective in soft metaphyseal bone application where adequate bone stock is present to support the increased thread diameters. Acceptable locations include the proximal tibia, the distal femur, and the proximal humerus only. Pre-drilling is very important. These pins are contraindicated in diaphyseal bone, in the radius or ulna, and in the hard bone of the humeral condyle.
NOTE: 16316 and 1631L have larger shanks than corresponding large KE standard thread profile pins.
All INTERFACE™ fixation half-pins are produced from the highest quality implant grade 316LVM stainless steel.
All can be utilized with IMEX™ SK™ ESF System, KE devices, acrylic frames, or KE-like devices.
Rarely is more than one cancellous pin used per long-bone fracture.
