2.7 mm Universal Locking Screws

The bones of the foot, wrist and hand leave no room for oversized hardware. Their periarticular plates are scaled accordingly, and the screws that lock those plates must hold a fixed angle at a diameter the bone can accept. Small-calibre locking is a discipline of its own: less material, less tolerance for error, same mechanical demands.

The universal locking family answers with a screw whose head engages the plate squarely and whose shaft is sized for small cortical and metaphyseal corridors. Locked at a fixed angle, even slim screws share load across the construct — the principle that makes locking fixation worthwhile in the first place, delivered at small scale. Length and configuration remain selections of the operating surgeon.

Each screw is advanced through the system drill guide and tightened until its head seats flush and locks into the plate hole. Lengths in the range step in fine increments, so the measured corridor gets the exact screw it calls for — short for the small bones of the hand and foot, long where a broader fragment must be crossed.

The twenty-three-number family is held in BoneCraft warehouse stock and ships in original manufacturer packaging, with factory lot references on the delivery documents.
