Cannulated screws are a common method of fixation used by orthopedic surgeons for multiple fracture patterns. These screws may be cannulated or "hollow" to allow them to be placed over a guidewire facilitating better alignment prior to drilling or screw insertion. The guidewire is then removed and the screw is left in place. There are headless type and with head type, also many different sizes of cannulated screws are available 3.0,4.0,6.5,7.3.
