Epiphysis Screw (ES)
General
Screws
The ITS. Epiphysis Screw is designed for the treatment of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE). Its minimally invasive approach uses a central screw that preserves blood flow to the femoral neck and reduces the risk of joint perforation.
The screw stabilizes the femoral head for partial weight-bearing and features a short thread that acts as a tension screw without penetrating the joint. Its large screw head prevents bony ingrowth and allows easy percutaneous removal, avoiding open surgery.
