Partially threaded headless screw may benefit adequate interfragmentary compression and reduced driving torque for small bone fixation
Headless compression screws (HCSs) are commonly used to fixate small bones and articular fractures. Understanding the biomechanical efficacy of different HCS designs can help surgeons make proper interfragmentary compression when a specific implant is chosen. HCSs with three different central shaft...
