Head and Bone Screw

Used in surgeries intended to correct or stabilize the spine for various reasons, heads are secured to the vertebra with bone screws. These then secure the rods that connect vertebra together. Typically produced on Swiss style turning centers, heads are also made from implantable titanium and cobalt chrome. Achieving high productivity in small diameter turning, milling, and drilling is the primary challenge faced by manufacturers.

Bone screws are used to secure a variety of orthopedic implants, primarily for repairing fractured bone with plates, and also for surgeries to stabilize or correct the spine. Machined from titanium or stainless steel (depending on the application) these components require that the material used, size of features and tolerance requirements must be taken into account during the machining process.
