A screw element for the fixation of bone components and bone fragments is disclosed having a shaft with an outside screw thread and a longitudinal axis extending along the shaft and defining a distal direction and a proximal direction, and an insertion direction and an opposite removal direction, and has a tool attachment point starting radially inwards and the tool attachment point has a central opening and in the wall of this opening at least five tooth profiles directed radially outwards and mainly parallel to the screw axis directed radially outwards and mainly parallel to the screw axis are formed in the wall of this opening, and for each tooth profile an insertion wall in insertion direction and a removal wall in removal direction can be separated, and that the surface of the insertion wall is greater than the surface of the removal wall.
