locking screws

Locking screws are precision-engineered fasteners designed to create a fixed-angle construct when used with compatible locking plates. By threading into the plate hole, they convert the bone–screw interface into a single-beam construct, resisting pull-out and angular collapse even in osteoporotic or metaphyseal bone.

Common applications include fracture fixation of the proximal humerus, distal radius, and tibial plateau, as well as spinal fusion procedures. Buyers typically evaluate thread profile, material (titanium or stainless steel), cannulation for guide-wire placement, and compatibility with their existing plating systems to ensure intraoperative versatility.
