Material: The screw is made of stainless steel, a common material used in orthopedic implants due to its strength and biocompatibility.
Shape: The screw has a cylindrical body with a sharp tip for easy insertion into bone. It also features a distinct head with a flat top, which likely has a slot for a screwdriver or a specialized tool for tightening the screw.
Thread: The screw has a threaded shaft, which helps to secure it in place within the bone and provides a strong mechanical hold.
Locking Mechanism: The most distinctive feature of this screw is the locking mechanism. The head of the screw appears to have a small hole or channel. This is where a locking pin or screw would be inserted to prevent the screw from backing out. This locking mechanism is crucial for ensuring the stability of the implant.
