5.5mm Pedicle Screws for Thoracolumbar Fixation System

Mono Axial Screw Dual Thread (Titanium)

Monoaxial screws have long been used as construct anchors in
the lumbar spine. Over the past decade, they have been used with
increasing frequency in the thoracic spine particularly at the apex
of scoliotic curves. Despite the non-pivoting shank,
the Monoaxial screw head offers a lower profile and rigid design
which surgeons can use to facilitate vertebral body derotation maneuvers.

Understanding Types of Orthopaedic Implants, You Need to Know Before Undergoing Surgery
Implants are one of the most important tools used in orthopedic surgery to ensure proper recovery and restore the function of bones or joints. By informing patients about the purpose of the surgical intervention the tension is alleviated and one is empowered to make autonomous decisions regarding which type of orthopaedic implant to select. At Aosys Private Limited, we believe in giving patients the right information. Let us explore a guide to understanding the various types of orthopedic implants.
1. Plates
Plates are flat, thin pieces of metal placed on the broken bones to stabilize them so they can heal. They are commonly used to treat fractures in long bones such as the femur or tibia. These plates are attached to the bone using screws, and depending on the type of fracture, they can be either straight or curved. For example, the threaded screw holes present in the locking plates enable a more secure fixation of the fracture, which is preferable for the complex type of fracture.
2. Screws
Orthopaedic screws have multiple functions: on their own as a secured implant, or as a fastener for other implants such as plates. The screws can be found in different shapes: cortical screws (used for areas of bone that are dense), cancellous screws (for spongy bone areas), and locking screws that increase the stability of the plates. Their major purpose is fixing the fracture and sometimes when the need arises other implants are secured by them.

3. Intramedullary Nails (IM Nails)
IM nails are long metal rods that are put into the marrow cavity along the inside of a bone. These are primarily used to treat long bone fractures, like the femur, tibia, or humerus. Intramedullary nails provide strong internal support while allowing some flexibility, hence faster healing and the patient regains mobility sooner. These nails are usually fixed with screws at both ends which keep them floating when they are not in motion.

4. Joint Replacement Implants
Joint replacement surgery is one of the options for a man failing in joint function caused by diseases such as osteoarthritis. There are many types of joint replacement implants, including:
– Hip Replacement Implants: These metal, ceramic, or plastic implants replace the damaged hip joint, allowing for a wider range of movement.
– Knee Replacement Implants: These are total knee replacements or partial knee replacements, usually made of metal or plastic, and are designed to move like a naturally healthy knee.
– Shoulder Replacement Implants: These are used to replace the ball and socket joint in the shoulder, which consists of metal and plastic components.

5. Spinal Implants
Spinal implants expect to make the spine steady in cases of trauma, deformity, or even with scoliosis. The common types of spinal implants are rods, screws, and interbody cages. They also realign the spine, stabilize it, promote the fusion of vertebrae, and ensure effective recovery, thus minimizing the risk of complications.

6. Wires and Pins
Wires and pins are used primarily for simple fractures, particularly in smaller bones such as the wrist or fingers. These short-term implants help support the bone as it heals. Are taken out once the bone has fully recovered from the injury or fracture treatment They are commonly preferred for children or simple fractures to maintain bone alignment effectively.

7. Biodegradable implants
A new development, in surgery is the use of implants that slowly decompose and get absorbed by the body naturally over time instead of requiring removal through a second surgery when permanent hardware is not needed.

8. Selecting the Appropriate Implant
The type of implant selected for your procedure will be determined by factors such, as the specific location and severity of the injury you have sustained; your general health condition; and the surgeon’s personal preference based on their professional experience and skill level. Furthermore

9. In closing
It’s really important to know about the kinds of implants before going into surgery so that you can talk effectively with your surgeon and make well-informed choices, about your treatment plan with confidence. Aosys Private Limited is dedicated to offering cutting-edge implants of top-notch quality to guarantee the results, for our patients.
