What is the Difference Between Cortical and Cancellous Screws

Variable angle locking plates (VALPs) were introduced to give surgeons more freedom when placing screws, especially in complex periarticular fractures. Instead of being locked into one fixed trajectory, screws can be angled within a safe cone while still locking solidly into the plate. Over the last decade, these systems have…

Multifix femur nails are designed to give surgeons more confident control over rotation in challenging femoral fractures, especially around the proximal and distal segments where standard nails can struggle. Their geometry, locking options, and overall construct all work together to keep the limb aligned as healing progresses.​ Why rotational stability…

When someone suffers a fracture, most people focus on the surgery and the recovery that follows. What many don’t realize is that the implant used during that surgery plays an equally important role. And that implant—whether it’s a plate, a screw, or a nail—comes from a manufacturer. This is where…
