Are continuous locking headless bone screws with locking plate fixation effective for bridging fracture gaps in far cortical locking constructs? An in vitro biomechanical and finite element study under simplified axial loading [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyIntroductionLocking screws typically provide more stable fixation than conventional cortical screws. However, the rigid connection between the locking screw head and plate hole can cause stress concentrations and lead to early failure under cyclic ...
