System for the fixation of bone segments or bone fragments
The present disclosure relates to a system for the fixing of bone segments or bone fragments comprising an implant plate or an implant surface plate having a bore or a cut-out and comprising an implant screw which can be guided through the bore or cut-out of the plate, wherein the implant screw has a screw shaft and a screw head and wherein both the screw shaft and the screw head have a thread with identical pitches.
1. A system for the fixing of bone segments or bone fragments comprising:
an implant plate or an implant surface plate having a bore or a cut-out; and
an implant screw which can be guided through the bore or cut-out of the plate, wherein the implant screw has a screw shaft and a screw head, wherein both the screw shaft and the screw head have a thread with identical pitches, wherein the screw head has a larger outer thread diameter than the screw shaft, wherein the bore or cut-out of the plate is provided with an internal thread and the thread of the screw head is able to engage the internal thread of the bore or cut-out of the plate, wherein an outer thread diameter of the screw shaft is less than an inner thread diameter of the bore or cut-out of the plate so that the implant screw is initially screwed through the bore or cut-out of the plate without any connection to the plate, and wherein a thread height in a region of the screw head is smaller than a thread height in a region of the screw shaft.
2. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the thread is made in an uninterrupted manner from the screw shaft up to the screw head.
3. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw shaft merges continuously into the screw head.
4. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw shaft is cylindrical.
5. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw head is made with an outer thread diameter increasing constantly starting from the screw shaft.
6. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw head has straight or curved outer sides in longitudinal section.
7. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw head is conical, hemispherical, concave or convex.
8. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the thread is made with a single start.
9. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw has a recess for a tool to turn the screw.
10. The system in accordance with claim 9 , wherein a mount is made such that an internal or external shape-matched connection can be achieved with the tool.
11. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the thread is made with a multi-start.
12. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the thread of the screw head and the internal thread of the bore or cut-out are engaged in a locking connection in an installed state, wherein the locking connection is releasable.
13. The system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the screw only locks to the plate via the screw head.
14. A bone fixation system for the fixing of bone segments or bone fragments comprising:
an implant plate or an implant surface plate having a bore or a cut-out; and
a bone implant screw which can be guided through the bore or cut-out of the plate, wherein the bone implant screw has a screw shaft and a screw head, wherein both the screw shaft and the screw head have a thread with identical pitches, wherein the screw head has a larger outer thread diameter than the screw shaft, wherein the bore or cut-out of the plate is provided with an internal thread and the thread of the screw head is able to engage the internal thread of the bore or cut-out of the plate, wherein an outer thread diameter of the screw shaft is less than an inner thread diameter of the bore or cut-out of the plate so that the implant screw is initially screwed through the bore or cut-out of the plate without any connection to the plate, and wherein a thread height in a region of the screw head is smaller than a thread height in a region of the screw shaft.
15. The system in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the thread is made in an uninterrupted manner from the screw shaft up to the screw head, the screw shaft merges continuously into the screw head, and the screw shaft is cylindrical.
16. The system in accordance with claim 15 , wherein the screw head is made with an outer thread diameter increasing constantly starting from the screw shaft.
17. The system in accordance with claim 16 , wherein the screw head has straight or curved outer sides in longitudinal section.
18. The system in accordance with claim 16 , wherein the screw head is conical, hemispherical, concave or convex, and wherein a mount is made such that an internal or external shape-matched connection can be achieved with a tool.
