Comparison of forces generated using compression plating versus a magnetic lengthening nail in a sawbones femur model

The purpose of this study is to compare compression generated by a Precice magnetic lengthening intramedullary nail and a 5.0 mm limited contact dynamic compression plate. Transverse osteotomy sites were created in the femoral shaft of ten Sawbones fourth generation composite femurs. Antegrade 10-de...

Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study is to compare compression generated by a Precice magnetic lengthening intramedullary nail and a 5.0 mm limited contact dynamic compression plate. Transverse osteotomy sites were created in the femoral shaft of ten Sawbones fourth generation composite femurs. Antegrade 10-degree trochanteric Precice nails and 8-hole, 5.0 mm plates were used for fixation. The plates were compressed by placing a neutral screw and three eccentrically drilled compression screws on alternating sides of the osteotomy. Average compression and distribution of compression were compared, and P-values
