1.5 million screws have been implanted to date.*

compression screws. Clin Orthop Relat Res.1998;350:237–245.
• Screw has a uniquely patented thread pitch that varies
continuously from tip to tail.
• Each thread engages bone faster than its trailing thread,
generating gradual compression along the entire length
of the screw.
• Fully threaded screw provides greatest push-out force, highest
amount of retained compression after cyclic loading, and
highest resistance to torsional loading compared to AO and
Herbert screws in cadaveric and synthetic bone material.**
