The fixation properties of carbon fiber-reinforced liquid crystalline polymer implant in bone: An experimental study in rabbits

A novel composite material with ultra‐high strength and a low elastic modulus called carbon fiber‐reinforced liquid crystalline polymer (LCP/CF) has been developed. We studied the fixation properties of an intramedullary LCP/CF rod in rabbit bone. The medullary canals of both femora were reamed with...
