A Comparison of the Strength and Stability of Six Techniques of Cerclage Wire Fixation for Fractures
An in vitro comparison of six methods of cerclage wire fixation was performed using 1-mm-diameter stainless steel wire. A testing apparatus was designed to simulate the tensile forces on a cerclage wire around a femoral shaft fracture. The hairpin cerclage knot that we describe generated significant...

Zusammenfassung: | An in vitro comparison of six methods of cerclage wire fixation was performed using 1-mm-diameter stainless steel wire. A testing apparatus was designed to simulate the tensile forces on a cerclage wire around a femoral shaft fracture. The hairpin cerclage knot that we describe generated significantly higher initial compressive force (p |
