Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a self-tapping and self-boring osteosynthesis screw for compressive orthopaedic surgery, characterised in that, in the bone engagement regions, at both the distal portion (A 1 a ) and at the proximal portion (A 2 a ), the sum of the angles defining the outer taper of the shank (f) and the taper of the crest line of the screw thread pitch (P) is higher than 45°, and in that the leading portion (i.e. the most distal one) of each thread includes a plurality of cutting edges (AR) obtained by stock removal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A screw for insertion into bone comprising: a shaft having a proximal portion defining a screw head, and a distal portion and an unthreaded portion between the proximal and the distal portions, the shaft defining a central axis through the proximal and the distal portions; proximal threads extending along an outer surface of the proximal portion of the shaft; and distal threads extending along an outer surface of the distal portion of the shaft, th…
