...Rad Zdero; Khaled Elfallah; Michael Olsen; Emil H. Schemitsch Biomechanical investigations of orthopedic fracture fixation constructs increasingly use analogs like the third and fourth generation composite femurs. However, no study has directly compared cortical screw purchase between...

... the effect of screw pullout rate on cancellous bone screw purchase strength in synthetic cancellous bone. Sixty synthetic cancellous bone cubes ( 40 × 40 × 40 mm 3 ) each had one orthopaedic cancellous bone screw (major diameter = 6.5 mm ) inserted to a depth of 30 mm . Screws were extracted to obtain...
