A Detailed Guide on Orthopedic Bone Screws — Uses and Types

Orthopedic bone screws are medical devices that orthopedic surgeons use to fix a fracture. They are either used alone for bone-to-bone/bone-to-tissue fixation or with other trauma implants like orthopedic plates. Bone screws are cylindrical devices with threads throughout their shaft. These threads convert torsional force into compression.

If we compare them with conventional screws, then they follow the same mechanical principle. Besides this, orthopedic screws play an important role in keeping fractured bone fragments in their correct anatomy. Hence, this helps with the proper healing of the fracture.
