Abstract
A headless compression screw construct was significantly stiffer in both the proximal-distal and medial-lateral directions, indicating greater resistance to both axial and shear loading. Additionally, they had significantly greater load at clinical failure based on lateral displacement. The low-profile design of the headless compression screw minimizes soft tissue irritation and reduces need for implant removal.
