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.
