Bone screws come in many types, each suited to specific uses. Here are five.

First, cortical screws. Used for dense bone. Second, cancellous screws. Used for softer bone. Third, locking screws. Used with plates for stability. Fourth, cannulated screws. Used for precise placement over guide wires. Fifth, headless screws. Used where a low profile is needed. These types are driving demand, as reflected in the Bone Screw System Market.

For patients, understanding types helps. For surgeons, it means more options. For manufacturers, it means opportunities. As technology advances, screw designs will improve.
