Product

The KreuLock locking compression screws combine the same proven technology found in our Headless Compression FT screws with a locking screw head to provide compression along the screw for treatment of fractures or fusions. Additionally, they are designed to bring the plate to bone.
<ul>
 <li>Variable-Stepped Thread Pitch – the screw tip’s wider thread pitch enters the bone faster than trailing threads, gradually compressing the fragments as the screw is advanced</li>
 <li>Locking Head – mates with existing plates</li>
 <li>Individual screw and instrument modules for each screw family</li>
 <li>Available in both titanium and stainless steel</li>
</ul>

KreuLock™ locking compression screws allow surgeons to compress bone fragments and bring the plate to bone while achieving a low-profile construct.

KreuLock™ Locking Compression Screws

Kaitlin Neary, MD (Boise, ID), describes the advantages of using KreuLock™ locking compression screws in conjunction with the Arthrex Calcaneus Fracture System. KreuLock locking compression screws allow the surgeon to compress bone fragments and bring the plate to bone while achieving a low-profile construct.

KreuLock™ Locking Compression Screws Surgical Technique KreuLock™ Locking Compression Screws Introduction Titanium Locking Head 2.4 mm VAL Compression Screw 3.5 mm 3.0 mm 3.0 mm VAL Hybrid VAL Locking Stainless Steel 2.7 mm Locking 3.5 mm Locking Fully threaded (FT) compression screw with variable-stepped pitch and locking head The KreuLock locking compression screws combine the same proven variable-stepped pitch technology found in the Headless Compression FT screws with a locking head. Compress fractures and bony fragments and bring the plate to the bone while also locking into the plate Six KreuLock screw families available, housed in individual modules with size-specific instrumentation Saves time – May eliminate the need to use a nonlocking screw and later replace it with a locking screw Customizable universal tray can fit two caddies Offered in titanium and stainless steel Compatible with existing plating systems of the same size KreuLock Locking Compression Screws I 03 Surgical Technique After reduction of a fracture or fusion, select the appropriate plate to match the bony anatomy. Position the plate and provisionally fixate with a BB-Tak. 1 Insert the appropriate drill guide into the selected locking hole. Drill using the corresponding drill bit. 2 Prepare the near cortex with 3 to 4 turns of the corresponding KreuLock™ profile drill. The profile drill matches the tapered neck of the KreuLock screws. 3 04 I KreuLock Locking Compression Screws Surgical Technique (Cont.) Use the depth device to determine the necessary screw length. 4 Insert the desired KreuLock™ screw with the appropriate driver. 5 As the screw crosses the fracture or fusion site, it will begin to compress the bone. 6 KreuLock Locking Compression Screws I 05 Surgical Technique (Cont.) Final tightening should be performed by hand. The screw is designed to bring the plate securely to the bone during final tightening. 7 Intraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to verify final plate and screw placement. Note: If screw removal is necessary, use the appropriate solid driver option. 8 06 I KreuLock Locking Compression Screws Caddy Overview – Titanium KreuLock™ Compression Screw System, 2.4, VAL, Ti (AR-8724VCLS) Item Number Description AR-8724VD-01 Profile Drill, VAL, 2.4 mm AR-8950-04 Drill Guide, locking, 2.4 mm, qty. 2 AR-8916-05 Drill Guide, 1.7 mm/2.5 mm AR-8724GV Drill Guide, VAL, 2.4 mm AR-8724GVN Drill Guide, VAL, locking, 2.4 mm, qty. 2 AR-13120G-2 Depth Device, 2.4 mm AR-8916-27 Driver, T8, solid, qty. 2 AR-8916-14 Drill Bit, 1.7 mm, qty. 2 AR-4160-24 Drill Bit, 2.4 mm AR-13226T BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-13226 BB-Tak, qty. 2 KreuLock Compression Screw System, 3.0, VAL, Ti (AR-8933VCLS) Item Number Description AR-8933VD-01 Profile Drill, VAL, 3.0 mm AR-8943-31 Drill Guide, 2.0 mm/3.0 mm AR-8950-07 Drill Guide, locking, 3.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8933GV Drill Guide, VAL, 3.0 mm AR-8933GVN Drill Guide, locking, VAL, 3.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8944DH Driver, T10, solid, qty. 2 AR-4166 Depth Device, 3.0 mm AR-8944-22 Drill Bit, 2.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8950-05 Drill Bit, 3.0 mm AR-13226T BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-13226 BB-Tak, qty. 2 KreuLock Locking Compression Screws I 07 Caddy Overview – Titanium KreuLock™ Compression Screw System, 3.0, Hybrid, VAL, Ti (AR-8933HVCLS) Item Number Description AR-8933HVD-01 Profile Drill, hybrid, VAL, 3.0 mm AR-8933HGL Drill Guide, hybrid, locking, 3.0, qty. 2 AR-8933HGV Drill Guide, hybrid, VAL, locking, 3.0, qty. 2 AR-8943-03 Drill Guide, 2.6 mm/1.35 mm AR-8944DH Driver, T10, solid, qty. 2 AR-8943-15 Depth Device, hybrid, 3.0 mm/3.5 mm AR-8933HD Drill Bit, 2.5 mm, qty. 2 AR-13226T BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-13226 BB-Tak, qty. 2 KreuLock Compression Screw System, 3.5, Ti (AR-8935CLS) 08 I KreuLock Locking Compression Screws Item Number Description AR-8935D-01 Profile Drill 3.5 mm AR-8941DH Driver, T15, solid, qty. 2 AR-8943-43 Drill Guide, locking, 3.5 mm, qty. 2 AR-8943-15 Depth Device, 3.5 mm AR-8943-03 Drill Guide, 2.6 mm/1.35 mm AR-8943-42 Drill Bit, 2.5 mm, qty. 2 AR-4160-35 Drill Bit, 3.5 mm AR-8970-09T BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-8970-09 BB-Tak, qty. 2 Caddy Overview – Stainless Steel KreuLock™ Compression Screw System, 2.7, SS (AR-8827CLS) Item Number Description AR-8827D-03 Profile Drill, 2.7 mm AR-8943-17 Drill Guide, locking, 2.7 mm, qty. 2 AR-8963-08 Drill Guide, locking, long, 2.7 mm, qty. 2 AR-8827D-02 Drill Guide, 2.7 mm/2.0 mm AR-8944DH Driver, T10, solid, qty. 2 AR-8943-08 Screwdriver, T10 AR-8943-16 Drill Bit, 2.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8963-05 Drill Bit, long, 2.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8827D-01 Drill Bit, 2.7 mm, qty. 2 AR-13226T BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-13226 BB-Tak, qty. 2 KreuLock Compression Screw System, 3.5, SS (AR-8835CLS) Item Number Description AR-8935D-01 Profile Drill, 3.5 mm AR-8943-43 Drill Guide, locking, 3.5 mm, qty. 2 AR-8943-10 Screwdriver, T15 AR-8941DH Driver, T15, solid, qty. 2 AR-8943-15 Depth Device, 2.7 mm/3.5 mm/4.0 mm AR-8943-42 Drill Bit, 2.5 mm, qty. 2 AR-8970-09T BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-8970-09 BB-Tak, qty. 2 KreuLock Locking Compression Screws I 09 Ordering Information – KreuLock™ Screw System, Titanium KreuLock Screw System (AR-8787CLS) Disposables Product Description Item Number Product Description Item Number KreuLock Compression Screw Case AR-8787CLC Drill Bit, 2.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8944-22 Ratcheting Handle, AO QC AR-8700RH Drill Bit, 3.0 mm AR-8950-05 Screw Holding Forceps, self-retaining AR-8941F BB-Tak, threaded, qty. 2 AR-13226T BB-Tak, qty. 2 AR-13226 KreuLock Screw System, 2.4, VAL, Ti (AR-8724VCLS) Item Number KreuLock Screw System, 3.0, Hybrid, VAL, Ti (AR-8933HVCLS) Profile Drill, VAL, 2.4 mm AR-8724VD-01 Product Description Drill Guide, locking, 2.4 mm, qty. 2 AR-8950-04 Instruments Drill Guide, 1.7 mm / 2.5 mm AR-8916-05 Profile Drill, hybrid, VAL, 3.0 mm AR-8933HVD-01 Drill Guide, VAL, 2.4 mm AR-8724GV Drill Guide, hybrid, locking, 3.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8933HGL Drill Guide, VAL, locking, 2.4 mm, qty. 2 AR-8724GVN Drill Guide, hybrid, VAL, locking, 3.0 mm, qty. 2 AR-8933HGV Depth Device, 2.4 mm AR-13120G-2 Drill Guide, 2.6 mm/1.35 mm AR-8943-03 Driver, T8, solid, qty. 2 AR-8916-27 Driver, T10, solid, qty. 2 AR-8944DH KreuLock Compression Screw Caddy AR-8724VCLC Depth Device, hybrid, 3.0 mm/3.5 mm AR-8943-15 KreuLock Compression Screw Caddy AR-8933HVCLC Product Description Instruments Accessories KreuLock Compression Screw Caddy Lid AR-8724VCLC-01 KreuLock Compression Screws, Ti, 2.4 mm × 10 mm-40 mm (2 mm increments) Accessories KreuLock Compression Screw Caddy Lid Implants (order separately) AR-8724VCL-10 -

As part of this professional usage, the medical professional must use their professional judgment in making any final determinations in product usage and technique. In doing so, the medical professional should rely on their own training and experience, and should conduct a thorough review of pertinent medical literature and the product’s directions for use. Postoperative management is patient-specific and dependent on the treating professional’s assessment. Individual results will vary and not all patients will experience the same postoperative activity level and/or outcomes.

Brian Wallace, DO (Naples, FL), repairs a comminuted patella fracture using the Patella SuturePlate™ II plate and KreuLock™ locking compression screws.

Patella SuturePlate™ II Plate for Pole Fractures

Used for several arthrodesis applications, DynaNite® nitinol compression plates take advantage of the superelastic property of nitinol to create dynamic compression across a fusion site. KreuLock™ locking compression screws combine the same proven variable-stepped pitch technology found in the Headless Compression FT screws with a locking head.
