The Herbert bone screw, introduced over a decade ago, has gained significant interest for treating scaphoid fractures. This review examines its biomechanical properties and surgical applications in hand surgery.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

The Herbert bone screw was introduced in Australia over ten years ago.
Its initial clinical experience with scaphoid fractures was published by Herbert and Fisher in 1984.
Over 60 English-language articles have since been published on this technique.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and comment on existing publications regarding the Herbert bone screw.
To analyze the biomechanical properties of the screw.
To evaluate its application in scaphoid fracture management and other hand surgeries.

Main Methods:

Literature review of over 60 English-language articles.
Analysis of publications focusing on biomechanical properties.
Examination of studies detailing surgical applications in hand surgery.
