An improved bone screw device having an internal lattice structure for bone integration and to promote bony ingrowth. The improved bone screw device has a cylindrical body with a first end and a second end and a cutting flute. The head of the bone screw is configured to engage with a driver to advance the screw into a patient's bone, and a distal tip is positioned at the second end. The cylindrical body further includes an internal lattice structure formed at a base of the cylindrical body, near the distal tip. Further, an exterior thread is formed on the cylindrical body and helically surrounds the internal lattice structure. In use, bone is channeled into the internal lattice structure, which helps to fixate the distal tip of the bone screw into the patient's pedicle, bone or joint.

The present invention provides a polymer ammunition cartridge having a primer insert having: a top surface; a bottom surface opposite the top surface; a coupling element that extends from the bottom surface, wherein the coupling element comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein the interior surface comprises: a transition region that transitions from the bottom surface to a second segment wherein the transition region has a radius of from 0.02 to 0.2; a first segment extending from the second segment and terminates at a tip, wherein the first segment has a first segment distance from 0.02 to 0.18 inches and the second segment has a second segment distance from 0.02 to 0.18 inches, wherein the second segment has a second segment angle from +3 to −3 degrees relative to the first segment angle and the first segment has a first segment angle from +6 to −6 degrees from perpendicular to the top surface; a primer recess in the top surface that extends toward the bottom surface; a primer flash aperture positioned in the primer recess through the bottom surface; and a flash aperture groove in the primer recess and positioned around the primer flash aperture and adapted to receive a polymer overmolding through the primer flash aperture.

A build plate includes a surface that defines at least one opening configured for disposal of a proximal portion of a screw shaft. The proximal portion is formed by a first manufacturing method and defines a distal face. The proximal portion is connected with the surface in a configuration to orient the distal face for forming a distal portion of the screw shaft thereon by a second manufacturing method that includes an additive manufacturing apparatus. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.
