Headless Compression and Twist-Off Screws
Surgical Technique
Drilling (Optional)
Note:
The Zimmer Biomet Headless Compression
screws are designed to be self-drilling and self-
tapping, and may be inserted under power.
If the bone is deemed to be too hard, or an oblique
approach is required, use a Head Relief Drill to prepare
the near cortex.
Tip:
For the 2.5 mm screw use the 2.5 mm Head Relief
Drill, and for the 3.0 mm screw, use the 3.0 mm Head
Relief Drill (Figure 10).

K-Wire Placement
For bi-cortical applications, such as the Scarf-Z or
Ludloff osteotomy, insert the k-wire until the tip
begins to exit the outer wall of the far cortex (Figure 9).
Screw measurement subtraction is not necessary for
bi-cortical fixation.
