Electrical Stimulation Screws
20200316388 · 2020-10-08 ·

An electrical stimulation screw, for instance a cortical screw or a locking screw, is configured to generate an electric field in response to a magnetic field. The electrical stimulation screw can include a head body and a head ring that surrounds the head body. The electrical stimulation screw can further include a tip opposite the head along the central anchor axis, and a shaft that connects the head to the tip. In one example, the shaft can define a shaft body that is monolithic with the head body, so as to increase the mechanical strength of the screw without compromising the strength of the electric fields that can be generated by the screw. The head body can define a cavity that is configured to receive a driver so as to rotate the head body and the shaft body about a central anchor axis.
