Novel Dual-Threaded Pedicle Screws Provide Fixation Stability That Is Comparable to That of Traditional Screws with Relative Bone Preservation: An In Vitro Biomechanical Study

Replacement with larger diameter screws is always used in pedicle screw loosening but carries a risk of pedicle wall violation. A pedicle screw with more preserved bone stock is the preferred primary fixation choice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a newly designed proximal-conical...
