Modern orthopedics, surgery and traumatology are impossible without the use of orthopedic screws. They are used to ensure reliable fixation - bones heal faster if the edges of the fractures are pressed as tightly as possible against each other. Orthopedic screws can be used independently or in combination with other fixing elements.

Orthopedic screws - design features

An orthopedic screw consists of the following main elements:

  • Heads - used as a support for bone or a fixing element. They can have a cylindrical, spherical, vertical or conical bottom edge. The head has a special connecting unit for transmitting the torque of the technological tool when installing or removing a screw. The most common in medicine are star-shaped or hexagonal knots.
  • The threaded body has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the head.
  • Thread – ensures fixation of the screw in the bone. It has a cylindrical shape.

Types of orthopedic screws

Depending on the diameter and thread pitch, medical screws for orthopedics, surgery and traumatology are divided into three types:

  1. Spongiosal (spongy) - have a deep thread and are used for connections of bones with a softer structure;
  2. Cortical - have threads with a shallower depth and a higher pitch frequency. These orthopedic screws are used for denser bones;
  3. Maleolar - traumatological screws used to install an external fixator during osteosynthesis. Structurally, they are a rod with a pointed end and a thread applied to half the body.

Manufacturing materials

The materials used to manufacture orthopedic screws are stainless medical steel, commercially pure titanium and its alloys, gold and its alloys. The most common products on the Ukrainian market are products made from medical stainless steel - they are durable, reliable, and have an optimal price-quality ratio.
