Bone screws are medical devices used to fixate bones during orthopedic surgery. They are typically made of stainless steel, titanium, or cobalt-chrome alloys and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Bone screws are used to hold bones in place during the healing process, allowing for a more successful recovery. They are also used to attach plates, rods, and other orthopedic implants to the bone. Bone screws are used in a variety of orthopedic procedures, including spinal fusion, fracture repair, and joint replacement. They are also used in trauma surgery, such as for the repair of broken bones. Bone screws are designed to be strong and durable, and are often coated with a material to reduce friction and improve the bond between the screw and the bone.
