The Herbert bone screw was originally developed for internal fixation of fractures of the carpal scaphoid bone but has proved to be so effective its use has now expanded to include fixation of other fractures. We used the cannulated Herbert bone screw for treatment of fractures (ankle ten, foot eight, knee seven, elbow five, shoulder three, distal radial bone one, hand one). The mean age of patients at the time of the injury was 38 years and 11 months, ranging from 17 to 73-years. Good bone union and clinical results were obtained in all cases. Advantages of this procedure are;(1) Lack of a protrusive head allowing it to be positioned in thin soft tissue parts (Malleolar, Olecranon).(2) Surgical technique is easier using the guide pin.(3) Screw threads which are at both ends have different pithces so that during insertion rigid compression is produced across the fracture line.
