Epiphyseal screw (EC)

The epiphyseal screw is designed to treat slippage of the femoral head epiphysis (SCFE). Its minimally invasive approach uses a central screw that maintains blood flow in the femoral neck and reduces the risk of puncturing the joint.

The screw stabilises the femoral head for partial weight bearing and has a short thread that acts as a tension screw without puncturing the joint. Its large screw head prevents bone ingrowth and allows easy percutaneous removal, avoiding open surgery.

Panel technology. ONE technology for all implants. All ITS. plates are made of Grade 2 titanium, while the screws are made of a harder titanium alloy. This allows the plates to have only threadless holes, all of which (with the exception of the elongated holes) accept both non-locking and locking screws.
