Medical Fastener Device

Abstract

An improved bone screw device having an internal lattice structure for bone integration and to promote bony ingrowth. The improved bone screw device has a cylindrical body with a first end and a second end and a cutting flute. The head of the bone screw is configured to engage with a driver to advance the screw into a patient's bone, and a distal tip is positioned at the second end. The cylindrical body further includes an internal lattice structure formed at a base of the cylindrical body, near the distal tip. Further, an exterior thread is formed on the cylindrical body and helically surrounds the internal lattice structure. In use, bone is channeled into the internal lattice structure, which helps to fixate the distal tip of the bone screw into the patient's pedicle, bone or joint.
