Bone-nailing compression screws are orthopedic tools used during surgery to stabilize fractures by applying controlled pressure to bone fragments. They are inserted alongside a nail or rod to compress the proximal (near) end of a broken bone, helping it align properly before final locking in place—commonly used for tibia or humerus fractures.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel, and come in various lengths to match surgical needs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to strict manufacturing and safety standards to ensure proper function during orthopedic procedures.
