Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of bones and joints can the EZ-FIX Small Cannulated Screw System be used to stabilize, and why is this system designed for those specific areas?
The EZ-FIX Small Cannulated Screw System is designed for fracture stabilization in long bones and joints such as the femur, tibia, pelvis, acetabulum, shoulder, and elbow. Its cannulated design allows for precise placement over a 3.2 mm guide pin, making it ideal for complex fractures in these areas where accurate screw positioning is critical for proper healing and fixation.
Is the EZ-FIX Small Cannulated Screw System intended for single-use or reusable applications, and how does this affect its clinical use?
The EZ-FIX Small Cannulated Screw System is explicitly described as a reusable orthopedic implant, meaning it is intended for multiple uses in controlled surgical settings. This design reduces waste and cost per procedure while maintaining sterility through proper cleaning and reprocessing protocols, which is essential for maintaining clinical safety in repeated applications.
What are the key dimensions of the EZ-FIX Small Cannulated Screw, and how do these specifications ensure compatibility with standard orthopedic tools?
The screws feature a 7.3 mm thread diameter, a 20 mm thread length, and a 3.45 mm cannulation designed to accommodate a 3.2 mm guide pin. These measurements ensure precise alignment with existing orthopedic instrumentation, allowing surgeons to use familiar guide pins and drills while achieving stable fixation in small bone fragments or joint repairs.
How is the EZ-FIX Small Cannulated Screw System regulated, and what does its FDA clearance under product code HWC indicate about its intended use?
The system holds an FDA 510(k) clearance under product code HWC (Orthopedic Fixation Devices), granted on November 4, 1996, with a determination of substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This classification confirms its compliance with U.S. regulatory standards for orthopedic fracture fixation, though it does not specify clinical indications—only that it meets FDA requirements for orthopedic use in controlled surgical environments.
