ObjectiveTo compare proximal fragment displacement and the peri‐implant strain using a pin‐sleeve cast (PSC) system and a transfixation pin cast (TPC) system on a cadaveric calf metacarpal bone fracture model.
Study DesignExperimental.
Sample PopulationCadaveric calf metacarpal bones (n = 6 pairs).
MethodsPaired samples were instrumented with either the TPC or the PSC systems. Strain gauges were...
ObjectiveTo compare the torsional strength of calf metatarsal bones with defects produced by removal of 2 different implants.
Study DesignIn vitro mechanical comparison of paired bones with bicortical defects resulting from the implantation of 2 different external fixation systems: the transfixation pin (TP) and the pin sleeve system (PS).
Sample PopulationNeonatal calf metatarsal bones (n = 6 pairs)...
