Made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), it offers excellent biocompatibility, is non-radiopaque, provides high fixation strength, and is safe and reliable.
The tail end of the screw sheath features a guiding thread design, making screw insertion easier and ensuring more secure fixation.
The interface screw is used in conjunction with the screw sheath for fixation, preventing the screw from cutting or damaging the graft and achieving 360-degree comprehensive tendon-bone healing.
This product is suitable for extrusion fixation in ligament reconstruction surgeries, typically used for tibial-side fixation of grafts in anterior/posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
ORTHOPROMED PEEK Interference Screw – Superior Graft Fixation for Orthopedic Surgery
When seeking a reliable solution for ligament reconstruction, the peek interference screw from ORTHOPROMED represents the pinnacle of advanced biomaterial engineering. Manufactured from high-grade PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), this implant is designed to provide robust mechanical fixation for both bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) and soft tissue grafts. Its optimized thread geometry ensures a straightforward surgical technique while requiring minimal tunnel preparation, making it a versatile choice for complex knee, shoulder, and extremity procedures.
Surgeons performing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction will find the peek screw acl application to be exceptionally reliable due to its material integrity. Unlike bioabsorbable alternatives that can lose strength over time, this PEEK polymer exhibits a modulus of elasticity strikingly similar to cortical bone. This specific property allows the screw to offer an optimal balance of strength, stiffness, and toughness without the risk of premature degradation. Furthermore, its bio-inert nature ensures that no foreign substance reaction occurs within the joint, preserving the biological environment while maintaining structural integrity.
The clinical advantages of this implant extend beyond its physical performance. Because the peek interference screw is radiolucent and MRI compatible, post-operative imaging remains clear of artifacts, allowing for accurate assessment of graft healing. While bioabsorbable implants are often marketed for easy revision, the PEEK construction provides the surgeon with immediate, high-strength fixation that is more resistant to shear forces than Biocomposite or PLLA options. This ensures the graft is held firmly in place during the critical early phases of rehabilitation.
Indications for Use
peek interference screw is ideal for a wide range of soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures. In the knee, it is indicated for ACL and PCL reconstruction, as well as medial and lateral collateral ligament repairs. Beyond the knee, it serves effectively in the elbow for distal biceps tendon and UCL reconstruction, in the shoulder for proximal biceps tendon repair, and in the hand for various ligament reconstructions (SCL, KLR). It is also suitable for Achilles tendon repair in the foot and ankle.

| Characteristics | PEEK Screw | Titanium Interference Screw | Bioabsorbable Interference Screw |
| Postoperative Imaging | No interference, crystal-clear MRI/CT scans – ideal for precise postoperative follow-up | Creates imaging artifacts, may obscure graft assessment | No imaging interference – clear visibility for long-term monitoring |
| Biological Safety | Chemically inert, minimal allergic risk – excellent biocompatibility | Rare allergic reactions, well-tolerated in most patients | May trigger mild inflammation or bone cyst in sensitive cases |
| Long-term Implant Fate | Permanent, stable fixation – maintains structural support indefinitely | Permanent rigid fixation – long-lasting mechanical strength | Gradually resorbs over 2–5 years, leaving no permanent implant |
| Revision Surgery | Easy to drill through, seamless revision workflow – no need for implant removal | Difficult to remove, may require complex extraction | Simplified revision – can be drilled through without full removal |
| Key Clinical Value for ACL Reconstruction | PEEK screw for ACL – balances strength & imaging clarity, ideal for young active patients | Titanium interference screw – maximum initial pullout strength for high-demand cases | Bioabsorbable interference screw – avoids permanent implant, reduces revision complexity |
