This study evaluated the compressive capabilities of the 3.0mm Synthes cannulated screw and threaded washer. A transverse osteotomy was performed at the waist of eight cadaveric scaphoids and a custom-designed load cell was inserted before internal fixion with a 3.0mm cannulated screw and threaded washer. The mean intrascaphoid compression achieved was 108 (SD, 60) N. This compressive force is comparable to that produced by standard cortical screws.
