Impact of screw tip design on screw anchorage: mechanical testing and numerical simulation

Abstract Background Screw loosening is a commonly reported issue following spinal screw fixation and can lead to various complications. The initial cause of screw loosening is biomechanical deterioration. Previous studies have demonstrated that modifications in screw design can impact the local biom...
