The patent application (Publication Number: US20230389970A1) describes a bone screw with unique features aimed at improving bone collection during insertion. The bone screw includes a screw shaft with one or more threads and one or more bone collecting channels. These channels may have cutting edges and extend in either a helical or straight path from the distal end towards the head of the screw. Importantly, the depth of these channels is designed to be less than the minor diameter of the threads, ensuring efficient bone collection without compromising the screw's structural integrity.
Additionally, the patent application also covers a cannulated bone screw variation, where the bone collecting channels are separated from the central bore of the screw. This design allows for the collection of bone material while maintaining the functionality of the central bore for other purposes. The insertion torque of both the bone screw and the cannulated bone screw falls within a specific range, ensuring optimal performance during surgical procedures. The application also includes methods for inserting both types of bone screws, emphasizing the cutting and collecting of bone material using the unique features of the screws. Overall, the patent application showcases innovative designs aimed at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of bone screws in medical procedures.
