The 8.0 mm Cannulated PFN Femoral Neck Screw – Self Tapping is a key orthopedic implant component designed for use with proximal femoral nail (PFN) systems in the management of intertrochanteric and femoral neck fractures. It acts as the main load-bearing lag screw, providing controlled compression across the fracture site while maintaining stable fixation within the femoral head.

Featuring a cannulated design, the screw is inserted over a guide wire, allowing accurate positioning and improved surgical precision. The self-tapping thread enables direct insertion into bone without pre-tapping, reducing operative time and simplifying the surgical procedure.

With an 8.0 mm diameter, this screw offers excellent strength and anchorage in cancellous bone, making it particularly effective in osteoporotic patients. It works in conjunction with an anti-rotation hip pin to provide enhanced rotational stability and prevent displacement of the femoral head.

Manufactured from high-quality Stainless Steel (SS) or Titanium (Ti), the screw ensures superior mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Its design allows for controlled sliding and compression, promoting optimal fracture healing.
