Herbert screw
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Herbert screw (invented by Timothy Herbert) is a variable pitch cannulated screw typically made from titanium for its stainless properties as the screw is normally intended to remain in the patient indefinitely. It became generally available in 1978.[1][2] Internal fixation of fractures using cannulated screws and guide wires has become a routine procedure for scaphoid fractures. [3]
