Scaphoid pseudarthrosis, before and after treatment with Herbert screw. The Herbert screw (invented by Timothy Herbert) is a variable pitch cannulated screw typically made from titanium for its biocompatible properties as the screw is normally intended to remain in the patient indefinitely. It became generally available in 1978.
Knuckle threads with a flat 30 degree flank thread angle are standardized in DIN 405 for inch pitches and diameters ranging from 8 mm to 200 mm. [3] A more recent standard DIN 20400 uses metric thread pitch and lists diameters from 10 mm to 300 mm. [4] As DIN is a German organization, many instances of the DIN thread charts [5] write numbers with a comma as the decimal marker.
A cannulated bar is a bar manufactured with a central hollow that has several medical applications. A cannulated bar is differentiated from a standard medical cannula by its greater outer diameter and wall thickness.
A differential screw is a mechanism used for making small, precise adjustments to the spacing between two objects (such as in focusing a microscope, [2] moving the anvils of a micrometer, [3] [4] or positioning optics [5]). A differential screw uses a spindle with two screw threads of differing leads (in case of a single lead equal to the ...
The term fine adjustment screw typically refers to screws with threads from 40–100 TPI (Threads Per Inch) (0.5 mm to 0.2 mm pitch) and ultra fine adjustment screw has been used to refer to 100–254 TPI (0.2 mm to 0.1 mm pitch). These screws are most frequently used in applications where the screw is used to control fine motion of an object.
A metric ISO screw thread is designated by the letter M followed by the value of the nominal diameter D (the maximum thread diameter) and the pitch P, both expressed in millimetres and separated by a dash or sometimes the multiplication sign, × (e.g. M8-1.25 or M8×1.25).
