documentation:

The unique design of the tapered Orthofix screw allows it to be removed almost painlessly in the clinic. At installation in the operating room, however, the surgeon must remember not to back the threaded pin out for fine adjustment of bony penetration. Any reverse excursion of the threaded shaft will loosen the tapered screw and cause early failure of the fixation. We no longer use the 4.5/3.5-mm screw when managing wrist fractures with the Orthofix external fixation system. It is now our policy to use the 3.5/3.3-mm screw for fixation of the Orthofix external frame to both the metacarpal bone and the radius.
