- Discussion:
- for fixation of small bones such as forearm, fibula, & clavicle;
- core diameter of 2.4 mm and requires a 2.5 mm drill bit;
- 3.5 mm titanium shaft screw used as lag screw in a
LC-DCP 3.5 mm
- designed as partially threaded screw w/ shaft diameter of 3.5 mm;
- hence it is used as a lag screw;
- since the smooth shaft has the same diameter as the thread it provides
improved stiffness and strength with the screw is used, as a load
screw for axial compression;
