Pin-sleeve orthopaedic bone screws are implantable devices designed to stabilize bone fractures during internal fixation. They consist of a threaded, hollow sleeve with a fixed pin inside, securing a bone plate to the bone while allowing controlled movement to promote even healing and load distribution across the fracture site.
These devices are typically single-use implants made from durable, non-degradable materials like cobalt-chrome-molybdenum. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical implants and subject to strict manufacturing and performance standards to ensure safety and efficacy in orthopaedic procedures.
