The MDS Injection Screw can be utilized to deliver injectable bone void fillers to a surgical site and is compatible with MDS humerus plating systems. It was developed as an innovative option for the systems to offer stable fixation in osteoporotic and complex fractures.

The current MDS plating systems utilize Next Generation Polyaxial Locking Technology™, which includes 40-degree polyaxial locking for optimal plate and screw placement, a strong and consistent locking mechanism at every screw angle and a low profile construct. By adding the MDS Injection Screw to the system, surgeons will have additional options in the treatment of complex humeral fractures. Biedermann Motech is the first company to offer such a technology for extremity surgery.

“Biedermann Motech first introduced the combination of fenestrated augmentable polyaxial screws for complex spine reconstructions more than 15 years ago,” said Markku Biedermann, Chairman of Biedermann Motech, Inc., “and we are very excited to now introduce this sophisticated technology for the fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions of the humerus.”

Biedermann Motech will showcase the MDS Injection Screw Technology Platform at the upcoming 2018 Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) Annual Meeting in Kissimmee (Orlando), October 17-20, 2018 at booth number 1015.
