Headless compression screws (HCSs) are commonly used to fixate small bones and articular fractures. Understanding the biomechanical efficacy of different HCS designs can help surgeons make proper interfragmentary compression when a specific implant is chosen. HCSs with three different central shaft designs (unthreaded, fully threaded, and partially threaded) were studied: the Herbert-Whipple, Mini-Acutrak 2, and headless reduction (HLR). Polyurethane foam blocks were machined with a simulated fracture gap of 0.5 mm and set onto a custom-made jig to simultaneously measure compression force and driving torque during screw insertion. The maximal achievable compression forces and driving torques recorded were 47.4 +/- 0.9 N and 145.11 +/- 1.65 N mm for the HLR, 50.98 +/- 1.29 N and 152.62 +/- 2.83 N mm for the Mini-Acutrak 2, and 19.33 +/- 1.0 N and 33.4 +/- 2.2 N mm for the Herbert-Whipple. Overall, the compression force of the Mini-Acutrak 2 and HLR increased with the torque. Unlike the other screws, the Herbert-Whipple's driving torque increased while the compression force decreased after peak compression force was achieved. The partially threaded shaft design (HLR) demonstrated equivalent biomechanical advantage with the Mini-Acutrak 2 in interfragmentary compression. The HCSs with cone-shaped proximal ends (HLR and Mini-Acutrak 2) maintained their compression force during over-fastening, whereas the unthreaded central shaft of the Herbert-Whipple screw caused it to lose compression force.
