Objective
To determine the effects of water temperature and cure time on cast strength.
Study design
Prospective randomized experimental study.
Methods
Two water temperatures were tested, 23°C (cold) and 42°C (warm). Cast constructs were made of 4‐inch fiberglass casting material over a rubber mandrel. Each construct was divided into 3 segments and tested in 4‐point bending at 0.5, 1, and 24...
Traditional fracture fixation teaching suggests that fully threaded screws do not provide interfragmentary compression unless placed through a glide hole. Based on this assumption, pelvic surgeons typically use fully threaded screws in the treatment of comminuted transforaminal sacral fractures to limit iatrogenic neuroforaminal stenosis. Clinical experience with fully threaded screws suggests that...
