Mini-Monster™ Screw System
System The Mini-Monster Screw System is a cannulated screw system containing
headed and headless 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm screws.
Every detail was scrutinized that went into the design of these
screws–emerging with a screw that comes with a “Monster” bite and a
noteworthy amount of options.
We set the goal of being inclusive and respectful of individual surgeon’s
preferences knowing that there is more than one way to a successful outcome.
The Mini-Monster Screw System gives the surgeon the flexibility to change
the type of screw used intraoperatively between headless and headed, as well
as partially threaded and fully threaded and in select sizes, long threads are available.
Paragon 28®'s Design Rationale
We didn’t want your headless screw to strip. Studies have shown that the
larger the pitch differential between the proximal and distal pitch of the screws,
the higher likelihood of creating compression early and stripping out the distal
threads of the screw. Because of this, we engineered a new screw concept where
the pitch differential between proximal and distal screw threads is minimized
and compression is gained from a tapered neck of the screw.
The controlled compression provided by the tapered neck of the screw is thus
“locked-in” by the proximal threads, intending not to exceed what the distal
thread purchase can tolerate. Engineering optimization was performed to minimize
the risk of exceeding the purchase potential of the distal threads.
