Patent ID: 8070403

Claim:
A screw, comprising: a screw head, comprising: a first surface having a driver slot thereon, and a second surface, wherein the second surface of the screw head faces away from the first surface; an elongated stem, comprising: a threaded first portion and a non-threaded second portion extending from the distal end of the threaded first portion and a breakaway therebetween, wherein a proximal end of the threaded first portion is mechanically and physically coupled to the second surface of the screw head, wherein the physical coupling between the second surface of the screw head and the proximal end of the threaded first portion is not a breakaway, wherein the breakaway releasably couples the non-threaded second portion to the distal end of the threaded first portion, wherein a diameter of the non-threaded second portion is smaller than a diameter of the threaded first portion of the elongated stem, and wherein the breakaway has a diameter sized so that the non-threaded second portion is directly decoupled from the threaded first portion of the elongated stem at the breakaway by hand, without the use of a tool.
