Overview
Indications for Use
The Acutrak 3 Screw System is indicated for use in bone reconstruction, osteotomy, arthrodesis, joint fusion, fracture repair, and fracture fixation of bones appropriate for the size of the device. The screws are not intended for interference or soft tissue fixation.
Acutrak 3 Headless Compression Screw System Procedures
The Acutrak 3 Headless Compression Screw System can be used in the following procedures:
Distal Humerus Fracture (Distal Humerus), Radial Head Fracture (Proximal Radius), Coronoid Fracture (Proximal Ulna), Hallux valgus (Forefoot), Hallux varus (Forefoot), Hammer toe/Claw toe (PIP/DIP) (Forefoot), 1st Metatarso-phalangeal (MTP) Arthrodesis (Forefoot), Closing wedge osteotomy (Forefoot), IPJ (Forefoot), Medial closing wedge osteotomy (Forefoot), Proximal 5th Metatarsal Fracture (Jones Fracture) (Forefoot), Bunionette (Forefoot), Talus Failure (Hindfoot), Triple Arthrodesis (Hindfoot), Calcaneo-cuboid Arthrodesis (Hindfoot), Flatfoot (Hindfoot), Calcaneal Fracture (Hindfoot), Talonavicular Joint Arthrodesis (Hindfoot), Navicular Fracture (Midfoot), Navicular Cuneiform Arthrodesis (Midfoot), Medial Column Arthrodesis (Midfoot), First Tarsometatarsal Joint Arthrodesis (Lapidus) (Midfoot), Lisfranc Dislocation / Midfoot Fracture (Midfoot), Jones Fracture (Midfoot), Equinus Contracture (Other), Arthrodesis/Deformity Correction (Other), Four-Corner Fusion (Carpal / Metacarpal), Fracture management (Carpal/Metacarpal) (Carpal / Metacarpal), DIP/PIP Fusion (Phalanges / Thumb), Fracture management (Phalanges/Thumb) (Phalanges / Thumb), Proximal Humerus Fracture (Proximal Humerus)
Additionally, Acutrak 3 has redesigned the instrumentation with a focus on ease of use for surgeons: all screws measure from the tail/back of a guide wire, the new screw sizer allows for implant measurements at unique angles,
the drivers have a new hexalobe interface, and a parallel guide wire has been added for stability or secondary implants between 2.5 mm – 20 mm in distance.
Key Features
- Continuously Variable Thread Pitch – The Acutrak fully threaded continuously variable thread pitch screw design provides greater compression and a larger window of compression as compared to partially threaded Herbert style screw designs.1 In addition, this feature allows a fracture or osteotomy site to lie almost anywhere along the length of the screw.
- A Family of Options – Available in six different families for a total of 68 different screws, addressing applications throughout the upper and lower extremities.
- Fully Threaded – Biomechanical studies have shown that fully threaded screws better handle the cyclic loading that may occur during healing. The Acutrak Headless Compression Screw technology has shown greater push-out strength, greater resistance to cyclic loading, and greater resistance to torsional loading when compared to differential pitch screw technology.1
- A Heritage of Healing – Over 1.7 million Acutrak family screws implanted since 1994, supported by more than 100 clinical and biomechanical studies.

The Acutrak 3 Nano incorporates the same design principles as the rest of the Acutrak 3 family of screws. The Acutrak 3 Nano is designed for the fixation of small bones and fracture fragments. Indications for Acutrak 3 Nano include: radial head fractures, phalangeal fractures, carpal fractures, metacarpal head fractures, scaphoid fractures, and DIP & PIP fusions. Acutrak 3 Nano screws are available in lengths up to 40 mm, are inserted with a 0.7 mm single or double trocar guide wire, and their corresponding, color coded options of bone drills.
