BONE SCREW AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
A bone screw and a method for manufacturing the same includes a screw thread configuration having one or more grooves cut into a leading face of the thread, a trailing face of the thread, and/or the shaft between the threads. Other implementations include the incorporation of facets into the one or more grooves. The implementation of the one or more grooves increases the surface are of the orthopedic screw and functions to increase in anchoring the bone screw within the bone once inserted therein, and thereby reduce the possibility for the screw backing out after insertion.

Method of manufacturing screw thread and screw thread
The removal starting position (8S1) of a first removal process and the four removal starting positions (8S21-8S24) in a second removal process are established on an imaginary circle (7I) with a prescribed radius (R) that is inscribed in the apex (7C) of an incomplete thread part (7a). In each removal process, the tip of the screw thread cutting tool shaves off the apex (7C) of the incomplete thread part (7a) into respective recesses, contacting the imaginary inscribed circle (7I) from the outside (above). The multiple cutting surfaces of the apex (7C) are formed in parallel helices (that is, as mutually adjacent helical recesses) from the starting position to the ending position of the incomplete thread part. Points and burrs in the incomplete thread part can thereby be eliminated or reduced without loss of the ability to screw together with a partner threaded fastener (threaded portion).
SCREW AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURE
A screw includes a barrel-shaped central pin is surrounded by a cylindrical bore having a conical bottom. The cylindrical insert is seated in the cylindrical bore. The top surface of the central pin is lowered below the top surface of the head. The walls of the pin (4) are convex towards the insert. Manufacturing the screw includes producing the threaded part with the head with the cylindrical recess with the cone-shaped bottom. The cylindrical insert terminates at one end with a bevel with an inclination angle of =10-30. The insert is introduced into the cylindrical recess. The upper part of the insert protruding from head of the screw is pre-shaped. The pin is upset using an appropriate tool and simultaneously the top surface of the pin is lowered below the top surface of the head.
