Bone Screws plates and nails (Betance 3) Flashcards
State the type of screw:
Fracture repair utilizing interfragmentary compression
Lag screw
State the type of screw:
Stabilizing a bone fragment without compression
Position screw
State the type of screw:
Fixing a splinting device to a bone (plate/nail)
Plate screw
State the screw that has a larger pitch and deeper thread used in these 2 areas of bone: _____ and ______. Cane be partial or fully threaded
Cancellous screw
metaphyseal or epiphyseal bone
State the screw that is FULLY threaded with a smaller pitch and shallow threads used in this area of bone: _____
Cortical screw
diaphyseal
What screw us used for lag application in diaphyseal bone and what category of screw it is?
Shaft screw
category: partially threaded cortical screw
Shaft screws avoid threads engaging this?
cis cortex
A _______ screw has a central _____ core and used in more difficult fractures.
___wire holds reduced fracture and acts a guide (screws placed over the wire)
Cannulated; hollow
K
What screw is used in locking compression plates? The screw head locks into a _____ _____
Locking head screw; plate hole
What do locking bone screws do better than non locking screws?
Provide better anchorage
This type of screw allows screw placement without pre drilling and tapping
Self tapping screw
This type of screw provides interfragmentary compression; where should the hole be drilled
Lag screw
equidistant from the fracture edges
For Lag screws, where should the hole be drilled in condylar fractures?
at a right angle to the fracture plane
Lag screw applic.:
A _____ hole is drilled in the FAR cortex corresponding to the ____ diameter of the screw
smaller hole; core diameter
Lag screw applic.:
A _____ hole is drilled in the NEAR cortex corresponding to the ____ diameter of the screw
larger hole; outer diameter
For lag screw application:
_____ or a _____ is used to increase contact between the bone and the screw head
countersinking; washer
What screw is used when placement of a lag screw will cause the bone fragment to collapse
position screw
For a position screw:
The ____ diameter hole is drilled in the near and far cortex
The drill hole is measured and tapped
The screw is misplaced and the position of the 2 fragments is _____
same
maintained
Rigid stainless steel or titanium strips that are fixed to the bone with bone screws.
Resist ____ forces
Bone plates; resist all forces
This plate is not as strong as a Dynamic compression plate (DCP) and has deep notches between the holes, allows contouring in an ____ ____
Reconstruction plate
additional plane
Reconstruction plates are used in areas that require ____ plate contouring such as the _____ or ____
complex; mandible or pelvis
What plates are weak, can be stacked, and provide NO COMPRESSION
These are versatile and cut to any length
Veterinary Cuttable Plates
These plates are used in referral procedures, can be contoured, and provide _____ at the acetabulum
Acetabular Plates
compression
This apparatus DOES NOT COMPRESS, provides limited contact, and is considered a locking plate
String of Pearls
The String of Pearls contours in ____ direction making it versatile and ____ screws are acceptable. Often combined with a ____
any; unicortical; rod
In terms of Bone plate placement; we place it on the ____ side of the bone because plates are likely to fail on the _____ side
tension; likely to fail on compression side
Bone plates convert _____ (_____) forces into _____ forced with _____ bearing
distracting (tension) forces into compression forced with weight bearing
