The description cortical means that the pilot hole must be pre-tapped prior to screw placement. Cortical Self Tapping means that the screw itself has a self tapping tip and cuts its own thread. Self tappers work very well in all but the hardest cortical bone. It recommended that surgeons using self tappers keep a tap ‘just in case’. Each Kit contains all you need including screws and implants.
Compared to stainless steel Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible. The major application in veterinary orthopaedics is in conjunction with the TTA cruciate procedure.
Its three-point grip is perfect for removing triangular fragments. The side with the two points is positioned on the left or the right side of the tooth (depending on the forceps) and the other on the fractured side.

This type of Screw is becoming increasingly popular in both human and veterinary orthopaedics. Self tapping flutes at the tip obviate the need for pre-tapping which saves time and reduces time related complications. Pull out strength is not affected provided the self tapping flutes are positioned outside the cortex.
