Trimet biotec headless comprseeion screw

Dear Ask The Doctor: Do trimet biotec headless comprseeion screws need to be removed after you take off a cast

Dear Simon: Compression screws are not normally removed after a cast is removed. They are designed to hold two pieces of bone in place to allow for adequate healing. Removal of the screws would defeat this purpose.
