Our 3.5mm LCP (Locking Compression Plate) Screw is a technologically advanced small fragment orthopedic implant engineered for modern rigid internal fixation. Designed with a specialized threaded head, this screw locks directly into the corresponding threaded holes of a Locking Compression Plate (LCP). This integration creates a highly stable, fixed-angle construct that does not rely on screw-to-bone compression to maintain alignment, making it exceptionally effective in osteoporotic bone or multi-fragmentary fractures.
The fully threaded cortical profile provides an exceptional grip within the bone matrix, while the self-tapping tip allows for precise insertion with minimized operating time. Featuring a specialized star (Stardrive) or deep hexagonal drive socket, it ensures maximum torque transmission without the risk of stripping.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Threaded Locking Head: Threads directly into LCP plates to create a single, rigid, fixed-angle construct that minimizes construct failure and preserves periosteal blood supply.
-
Fully Threaded Cortical Profile: Engineered with dense, shallow-pitch cortical threads designed for maximum surface area engagement and pull-out resistance in hard cortical bone.
-
Self-Tapping Tip: Features sharp cutting flutes at the tip to eliminate the need for independent pre-tapping, streamlining surgical workflows.
-
Conical Head Design: The tapered head sits perfectly flush inside LCP combination plate holes, reducing post-operative soft-tissue irritation.
-
Elite Biocompatibility: Fabricated from superior medical-grade Titanium Alloy or Stainless Steel to handle strenuous physiological loading while preventing adverse tissue reactions.

Clinical Indications
The 3.5mm LCP Locking Screw system is universally indicated for:
-
Fixation of small fragment fractures, including the radius, ulna, fibula, clavicle, and pelvic region.
-
Osteopenic and osteoporotic bone fixation where traditional cortical screws lack adequate purchase.
-
Complex intra-articular or comminuted fractures requiring absolute fixed-angle stability.
-
Use within LCP dynamic compression and anatomical plates.
