Acutrak 4/5

Designed as an extension of the Acutrak family for malleolar fractures, the Acutrak 4/5 has found its own niche of indications where its taper and headless profile make for an ideal method of fixation — medium to large bones where a traditional 4.5mm headed screw or equivalent sized headless screw is required.

The Acutrak 4/5 is an excellent fixation solution for Jones fractures and nonunions. Given the taper of the 5th metatarsal canal and historical issues with screw prominence, the headless, tapered Acutrak 4/5 solves issues of patient discomfort.

Key Features

The Acutrak 4/5 includes all the benefits of the Acutrak family, plus:

• Biomechanical advantage: Studies found the Acutrak 4/5 to be equivalent in bending strength to a larger diameter 6.5mm headed screw in Jones fractures.
