Initial engagement and axial force model for self-tapping bone screws
Correctly torquing bone screws is important for implant fixation longevity and strength. A model-based smart screwdriver has been proposed to regulate torque, however current models ignore axial force and the initial engagement of the screw. This was addressed here by deriving a model based on the c...
