Pediatric Schanz Screws are components of Pediatric Orthopedic External Fixation systems, designed to function as Bone Anchoring Elements. They are inserted into the bone according to the approved Surgical Technique and subsequently connected to compatible External Fixator components to create an External Fixation Construct.
The Schanz Screw functions as a mechanical connection between the Bone Segment and the External Fixator. A portion of the screw is secured within the bone, while the external portion allows connection to compatible Clamps or Connecting Elements within the fixation system.
This product family is intended for Pediatric Orthopedic Fixation applications and includes several configurations with different lengths, allowing the appropriate screw to be selected according to Bone Anatomy, Fixation Site, Bone Segment, External Fixator Geometry, and intraoperative assessment.
According to the provided data, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 603.020
The range includes four Product Configurations with listed lengths of 50, 60, 60, and 90 mm. Two separate 60 mm variants are listed under different product codes, indicating a technical difference between them that is not fully specified in the provided table.
Each variant also carries an individual GTIN Number, supporting Product Traceability, Procurement, Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
What Are Pediatric Schanz Screws?
A Pediatric Schanz Screw is an Orthopedic Fixation Pin / Screw designed for use within External Skeletal Fixation systems used in pediatric orthopedic applications.
Its function within the fixation system can be represented as follows:
Bone → Schanz Screw → Fixator Clamp / Connector → External Fixation Frame
Accordingly, the screw acts as a Bone-to-Frame Interface, connecting the bone segment to the External Fixator Construct.
Because the product is intended for pediatric applications, the final configuration should be selected according to bone dimensions, the clinical condition, and the specific External Fixation system being used.
Product Components and Design
- Schanz Screw Body
The main longitudinal body of the screw, extending between the Bone Engagement region and the external section connected to the Fixator.
- Bone Engagement Section
The section designed to interact mechanically with the bone and provide Bone Anchorage within the External Fixation Construct.
The provided table does not specify:
- Thread Diameter
- Thread Pitch
- Thread Length
- Thread Profile
Therefore, these specifications should not be stated without reference to the official Technical Datasheet.
- Smooth Shaft Section
The longitudinal section of the Schanz Screw that provides an appropriate interface for connection with a compatible External Fixator Clamp or Connecting Component.
- Distal Tip
The distal end used during insertion of the screw into the prepared bone trajectory.
The exact tip design, such as Self-Drilling or Trocar, is not specified in the currently available product data.
- External Fixator Interface
The external section designed for connection with components of the External Fixation system, such as:
- Fixator Clamps
- Connecting Rods
- Frame Components
subject to the compatibility requirements of the fixation system.
Product Use
Pediatric Schanz Screws are used within compatible Pediatric External Fixation systems to provide bone fixation points and connect them to the External Fixator.
Depending on the approved indications of the system, they may be used in applications such as:
- Pediatric Fracture External Fixation
- Temporary Skeletal Stabilization
- Bone Segment Stabilization
- Pediatric Orthopedic Reconstruction
- External Fixator Constructs requiring Schanz Screw Anchorage
Selection of the appropriate configuration depends on:
- Patient Anatomy
- Bone Size
- Bone Segment
- Fixation Site
- Screw Length
- Screw Trajectory
- External Fixator Configuration
- Clamp Compatibility
- Preoperative Planning
- Intraoperative Assessment
The product should be selected and used by a Qualified Orthopedic Surgeon in accordance with the applicable IFU and approved Surgical Technique.
