## Introduction
The hand is a masterpiece of small-scale engineering. When bones in the fingers or palm break, they require hardware that is equally precise. The **Ortholyx Micro Bone Screw System** is designed to provide rigid fixation without overwhelming the delicate soft tissues of the hand.
## Scaled-Down Engineering
Our system covers screw diameters from **1.2mm to 2.0mm**.
* **Ultra-Low Profile:** Every screw head and plate is designed to be flush with the bone to prevent tendon “snagging” and ensure smooth finger movement after surgery.
* **Self-Drilling Tips:** Many of our micro screws are self-drilling, reducing the number of instrument changes in the tight spaces of the hand.
## Key Applications
* **Phalangeal Fractures:** Stabilizing the small bones of the fingers.
* **Metacarpal Fixation:** Managing common “boxer’s fractures” or crush injuries.
* **Scaphoid Compression:** Using micro-cannulated screws for the most common wrist bone fracture.
## Material Excellence
Hand implants are often palpable under the skin. We use **High-Strength Titanium** to ensure that our micro-plates are thin enough to be invisible but strong enough to support early rehabilitation.
## Conclusion
Hand surgery leaves no room for error. The Ortholyx Micro system provides surgeons with the “watchmaker’s precision” needed to restore the intricate functionality of the human hand.
