The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a unique Variable Angle Loading Thread that can be utilized on a cannulated or non-cannulated screw, wire, or pin for a variety of end-uses, such as surgical purposes fastening fractured bones together and/or for attaching bone tissue to surrounding tissue. More particularly, this disclosure relates to an industrial and/or surgical medical thread form having a highly angled and extended thread configuration for increasing the pullout strength of the screw as well as torque resistance thereof. For surgical activities, as an example, such characteristics provide effective strength and torque resistance before bone stripping upon implantation. Whether provided with long or short thread (partial or full threading, in other words), such a unique angled and extended thread provides effective surgical fixation fastening fractured bones together and/or for attaching bone tissue to surrounding tissue and/or increasing healing capabilities.
