coarse negative threaded pins

The thread on this pin is similar to a self-tapping cortical screw. The drilling tip is, again, the long Trochar. In young bone, use without pre-drilling; in older, hardened bone, use smaller pilot hole. The much improved pull out resistance means that these pins can be placed parallel within the same bone fragment; useful when fragment is smaller or when aligning proximal and distal fragments. More prone to pin fracture than Ellis pins. Always use four pins on either side of the fracture if possible.
