Research on Self-tapping Performance Test of Self-tapping Bone Screws / 中国医疗器械杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To study the self-tapping performance test method of self-tapping bone screws based on the YY/T 1505 standard.@*METHODS@#With reference to the method of YY/T 1505, various factors affecting the self-tapping force test was optimised, and the self-tapping force judgment method was improved.@*RESULTS@#The experimental results showed that the self-tapping force obtained by the improved self-tapping force judgment method has good repeatability and high stability of the experimental data. At the same time, the test results of other influencing factors indicated that the manufacturer should fully consider the test material and the size of the pre-drilled hole.@*CONCLUSIONS@#An improved method for judging the self-tapping force is helpful for the repeatability and stability of the test data. This study has certain significance referring to the self-tapping performance test of self-tapping bone screws.
