Biedermann Motech launched the first injection screw that can be used with its polyaxial locking plate systems at the 2018 Orthopaedic Trauma Association Annual Meeting in Orlando, Oct. 17-20.
Here are three things to know:
1. The MDS Injection Screw is designed to deliver injectable bone void fillers to a surgical site and is compatible with the company's MDS humerus plating systems. It is designed to offer stable fixation in osteoporotic and complex fractures.
2. The current MDS plating systems use patented Next Generation Polyaxial Locking Technology, which includes 40-degree polyaxial locking for plate and screw placement, a locking mechanism at every screw angle and a low-profile construct.
3. Biedermann Motech is the first company to offer this technology for extremity surgery. The medical device company introduced the combination of fenestrated augmentable polyaxial screws for complex spine reconstructions.
