Orthopaedic bone screws (non-sliding) are rigid, threaded implants used in internal fixation to stabilize bone fractures or secure orthopaedic hardware like plates, rods, or prostheses. They are inserted directly into cortical or cancellous bone to maintain alignment during healing, often in limbs, ribs, the sternum, or pelvis, without sliding along the bone surface.
These devices are typically classified as medical implants and regulated under orthopaedic fixation standards, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are generally supplied sterile and intended for single-use, though specific regulations may dictate reuse protocols or additional safety markings depending on the device’s design and clinical application.
