A member asked:
What kind of head is typically on screws which hold tissue into the bunion to keep the big toe straight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hex: Interesting question. There are a number of manufacturers of the screws that we use in bone; and so there are a number of different screw drivers. That being said, the majority of screws have a hex head.
