Wood Fasteners

142
In wood construction, fasteners are essential for securing components together, with the connection strength largely dependent on the direct bearing between members. Various types of fasteners are employed, each suited to specific applications and structural requirements.
Nails are the most common fasteners, consisting of sharp-pointed metal pins that are driven into wood using a hammer or a mechanical nail gun. They come in a variety of diameters, heads, and lengths. Nailing techniques include...

Frictional Forces on Screws

1.3K
Screws are characterized by a helical ridge known as a thread wrapped around a cylindrical shaft. They are commonly used as fasteners to hold objects together or to transmit power and motion in machines. One type of screw that is particularly useful for transmitting power is the square-threaded screw.
A jack with a square-threaded screw is a mechanical device used to lift heavy loads by applying a force at its handle. When the force is applied, the screw turns, raising the load. The screw can...

Self-Locking Screw

1.8K
A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. One of the key features that can make a screw jack more effective and reliable is its self-locking capability.
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

Steel Fastening Techniques01:17

Steel Fastening Techniques

231
Steel sections can be joined together through various fastening techniques including riveting, bolting, and welding, each suitable for different structural requirements and conditions.
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
Bolting is another...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Distal interlocking screw placement during intramedullary nailing presents challenges.
  • Accurate targeting of distal nail holes is crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel technique for distal locking screw insertion using a Steinmann pin.
  • To compare this new method with the conventional freehand technique.

Main Methods:

  • Eighteen Sawbones femur models were used with intramedullary nails.
  • A first-year resident applied both conventional and Steinmann pin techniques for distal locking holes under image intensification.
  • Evaluation metrics included time, radiation dose, and failure rates.

Main Results:

  • The Steinmann pin technique resulted in significantly lower radiation doses (P=0.0268).
  • Fewer failures were observed with the new technique (P=0.0367).
  • The time to create distal holes was shorter with the Steinmann pin method (P=0.0217).

Conclusions:

  • The Steinmann pin and hammer technique is an accurate and efficient method for creating distal interlocking holes.
  • This novel approach offers a cost-effective alternative for orthopedic procedures.
  • The technique simplifies distal locking screw insertion, potentially improving surgical workflow.
