  1. STRUCTURE AND TYPES OF SCREW USED FOR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY Plates and Screws are employed in surgical procedures to fix orthopedic issues. The main purpose of screws is to create compression to the bone to aid in the healing of the injured area. The way it works is that each time we move, the force is evenly distributed through the screws on the fractured bone, causing compression that ensures that the bone remains in place and aids in the repair. Screws can also be used as attachments for implants or fixes. As technology advances in the field of medical technology, the need for screws made of bone is rising and so are their uses which is why Medical Equipment Manufacturers in India are working to offer the most effective screws to speed up the heal and repairs. The Orthopaedic Bone Screw used in Orthopedic Surgery comes with an elongation, head, and diameter, as well as pitch and the tip. There are various types of orthopedic screws, based on their intended use along with the components used to create them. What is the material of surgical plates? Orthopedic Plates and Screws are manufactured of titanium alloys or stainless steel. There isn't any real advantage in one alloy over the other, unless the patient is allergic to a particular metal. It's mostly an issue of preference for surgeons. The material used in bone screws is extremely non-reactive. Therefore, these screws don't cause any allergies or corrosive reactions in the body. They may stay within your body for a long duration of time without causing injury to your bones, as well as any physical harm. Structure of Screw The screw is made up of the following components Core - Solid piece where the threads are pushed outwards. The diameter in the center determines how strong the screw is as well as its fatigue resistance. The diameter of the bit that is used is proportional to the diameter of the core. Threads- Threads are characterized by their diameter. Thread diameter is the largest dimension of threads. Tread depth is half the difference between the thread diameter and the core diameter. The

  2. depth of the thread determines the extent of contact with bones, which determines the resistance needed to pull out. The dimension of the tap is proportional to the thread's diameter. Head - Blocks sinking of screws into the bone. Hemispherical in shape, it increases the amount of surface available for transfer load and allows for angulated entry. It can be improved by making use of washers. It allows the attachment of the screwdriver. The screwdriver slot can be a hexagonal, star, or Philips. Types of Orthopedic Screws Based on the material used the screws come in the following kinds: 1. Steel made of stainless steel Screws made of stainless steel are the most commonly used ones. 2. Titanium: Titanium screws are an excellent option as they are less susceptible to infection when compared with stainless steel. The screws are employed to fix mandibular structures. 3. Bio-absorbable: Bio-absorbable screws comprise polylactic acid polyglycolic acid and poly-L-lactic acid. They need to be removed once they are absorbed by the human body but they can trigger the body's foreign bodies to trigger reactions. Are surgical screws a cause of pain? While the majority of hardware that is retained is not asymptomatic, some patients experience symptoms. These symptoms could be a result of the orthopedic screw or plate that is rubbing against a boot or pain can be caused in a situation when the tendon or soft tissue structure gets rubbed against the screws or plates. Conclusion

  3. There are different kinds of screws that are based on the head type or tip or if they're cannulated screws that are typically used to fix long bones. With the assistance of the ortho bone and screw suppliers, medical doctors and surgeons aid can be provided to the patients who require surgery to fix damage caused by an injury and live an ordinary life.
