    The T-Screw, a novel fixation device, facilitates early return to function after podiatric osteotomies. This screw design appears to accelerate bone healing, offering a superior alternative for foot surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Podiatric Medicine

    Background:

    • The T-Screw was patented in 1984.
    • A 5-year clinical study commenced in 1980, with FDA approval in 1985.
    • This paper introduces the T-Screw fixation device.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the T-Screw, a new fixation device for podiatric osteotomies.
    • To highlight the potential benefits of the T-Screw in orthopedic foot procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved a 5-year clinical evaluation of the T-Screw.
    • The paper focuses on the device's design and application principles.

    Main Results:

    • Early return to normal function and shoe wear was observed.
