Screws with strong pull-out strength have been sought for the treatment of cancellous bone. We hypothesized that an obliquely angled screw thread has advantages over conventional vertical thread with ...

The authors conducted a study to determine the thread properties that provide optimal screw fixation in cancellous bone, when screws of the same external screw diameter are used. Screw thread Type 1, ...

A new screw uses a special tip and thread form start that eliminates cross threading . The ‘MAThread’ screw from Arnold Umformtechnik has a ‘dog point’ that ensures optimum feed into the application.
