Abstract

The use of cannulated screws in foot and ankle surgery has increased over the years, but remains controversial and largely subject to surgeon preference. A research roundtable of questions has been submitted to 6 invited foot and ankle surgeons relative to their individual use of these cannulated devices. The purpose of this symposium is to explore some of the pertinent controversies between traditional solid screws and cannulated screws. With our current worldwide health care cost concerns, design, and manufacturing there will be a convergence in a quest for value in our implants. I am excited to have such an experienced and well-known group of foot and ankle surgeons participate in this dialogue. 1)Is there any situation in foot and ankle surgery where a solid screw cannot be used and you must use a cannulated?
