An orthopedic implant for insertion into a bone includes an implant body and one or more magnetically activated self-tapping screws. The one or more magnetically activated self-tapping screws are prepositioned in the implant body transversally to a longitudinal axis of the implant body. The prepositioned self-tapping screws are configured to rotate under an influence of an externally applied magnetic field so as to protrude into the bone and lock the orthopedic implant in place.
