locking screw

Locking screw is generally used in locking compression plate, which is a minimally invasive fixation system, matching the reverse thread corresponding to the plate hole, to achieve angular fixation, suitable for patients with osteoporosis. 

Compared with the traditional Bone Screw,the locking screw has a thicker stud and narrower thread,which increases the contact area with the surrounding bone and has better stress transfer effect.

Locking orthopedic implant screws are self-tapping screws with threaded caps, and their installation requires accurate pre-drilling.Thus, orthopedic titanium screws can be locked with the orthopedic plates to achieve tight fixation,and special screwdriver is required for insertion. Locking screws can effectively increase the strength of internal fixation,and their anti-pull-out effect is better,especially angular stable locking screws,the most significant effect is used with the proximal humerus Locking Plate.
