Faceted Bone Screw Technology
Revolutionary Orthopedic Fixation
Lower Insertional Torque
The faceted threadform lowers insertional torque required to reduce a fracture by ~50% [A]
Increased Bone Contact
Faceted bone screws feature better neighboring bone engagement that leads to increased osteogenesis and bone/device apposition [B]
Higher Pullout Strength
Faceted bone screws feature an improved bone/screw interface, increasing fixation and pullout strength, with up to 61% greater pullout strength 2 weeks after surgery [B]

Testimonials
John G. Seiler, III, MD
Diamond Orthopedic's faceted screws are a great innovation in screw design. The reduced torque of insertion and great size variety makes them a great implant choice for both fracture fixation and small joint fusions in the hand.
Bob Anderson, MD
These screws are a revelation and a major advancement over the antiquated traditional types. You really do feel the difference during insertion. They are ideal for achieving initial compression and then maintaining the fixation, particularly when you are dealing with a patient with compromised bone.
