<p>A bone screw (19) and its method of manufacturing provides a low modulus osteoinductive bone screw with a high resistance to insertion torquing. The method includes the steps of pre-torquing a plurality of reinforcing fibers (23), molding a polymer matrix to bond with the pre-torqued fibers, and wherein the screw apparatus is coated with an osteoinductive material such as hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphate.</p> |
