Spinal bone screw, non-bioabsorbable

Definition

A small, threaded rod with a slotted head intended to be used for internal spinal fixation by being screwed into the spine to hold a stabilization device (e.g., rod, plate) to bone; it is made of a material that is not chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). The device is available in various types, including pedicle and transfacet, and is typically used to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the treatment of various spinal instabilities or deformities.
