It's a screw that cuts its own threads, as opposed to a bolt requiring a bolt-hole to be tapped (a process that pre-cuts the threads). Lag screws are used in bone surgery where the screw anchors into the bone itself. This saves a multi-step procedure that a regular bolt would require, with no real downside.
