An implant in the form of a bone screw that meets device tracking requirements set for the in the FDA regulations is provided. The bone screw includes a screw body and a tag body formed as an integral extension of the screw body and is connected to the screw body via a frangible interface bone screw. The screw body has a head portion and a threaded shaft portion that extends along a longitudinal axis from the head portion to a screw tip of the screw body. The tag body defines at least one surface configured to display traceability information for the bone screw. The frangible interface is disposed between the tag body and the screw tip of the screw body. The frangible interface is configured to fracture upon application of a predefined mechanical force so that the tag body is removable from the bone screw.
