Biomechanical Comparison of Fixation Stability among Various Pedicle Screw Geometries: Effects of Screw Outer/Inner Projection Shape and Thread Profile

The proper screw geometry and pilot-hole size remain controversial in current biomechanical studies. Variable results arise from differences in specimen anatomy and density, uncontrolled screw properties and mixed screw brands, in addition to the use of different tapping methods. The purpose of this...
