Introduction. During fracture osteosynthesis, traumatologists may remove screws which are too long, cut the excess length from the screw tip, and then reinsert the cut screw (CS) to minimize implant waste. The purpose of this study was to determine if this practice has an effect on screw purchase. Methods. Using an axial-torsion load device, we measured the maximal insertion torque (MIT) required to insert 3.5 mm stainless steel cortical screws into normal and osteoporotic bone models. MIT was determined in three different test conditions: (1) long screw (LS) insertion; (2) LS insertion, removal, and insertion of a normal-length screw (NS); and (3) LS insertion, removal, cutting excess length from the screw tip, and reinserting the CS.
