Abstract
A surgical screw is provided for use in fixing or fusing bone. The screw may include each of an inner and an outer helical thread that extends along its length. The geometries of the helices and the relationship between the inner thread and the outer thread may improve the performance of the screw. For example, the two helices may operate to improve the manner in which the screw can be strained.
