Intraoperative orthopaedic bone pins and screws are temporary fixation tools used during surgery to secure surgical instruments or implants to bone. They provide stability while aligning fractures, positioning implants, or holding retractors in place, ensuring precision during procedures like fracture repair or joint replacement.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical devices rather than implants, meaning they are removed at the end of surgery. They may be classified differently depending on jurisdiction, and suppliers often provide them pre-sterilized for immediate intraoperative use, with variations in material (metallic or radiolucent polymer) and threading.
