title: [Standardization of implants shown by "bone-screws" (author's transl)].
abstract: The increasing use of orthopaedic implants makes international efforts of standardization with their objectives unification and benefit of the patient necessary and sufficient. In 1975 an ISO-Draft for "bone-screws" has been finished. To get experimental data there was a test series of breaking bone-screws of five producers by torsional stress. Comparable screws showed considerable differences. The control of conformity to standards gave partially distinct differences to the standard profile and different hardness values, what affects to the screws' security of twisting off.
