SNAP-OFF SCREW WITH RECESSED BREAKOFF AREA

摘要

A snap-off screw for insertion into one or more two bone regions includes a screw body having a screw region and a driver region. Upo insertion of the screw region, the driver region is designed to be decoupled from the screw region. The screw region includes a screw distal end, an opposed screw proximal end, a threaded area, and a head area positioned at the screw proximal end. The driver region includes a driver attachment end and an opposed driver distal end. The driver attachment end is coupled to the screw region between the screw distal end and the screw proximal end. With this design, when the driver region is decoupled from the screw region, a screw break surface is positioned below a portion of the head area of the screw region.
