| Zusammenfassung: | The disclosure relates to medical devices and methods of manufacturing medical devices. An orthopedic screw includes a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, a body extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a longitudinal axis. A distal thread on an external surface of the shaft extends around the longitudinal axis. A head portion includes a series of cutting teeth that lie on a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. A distal tip portion defines a cutting edge. |
