Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced PEEK Intramedullary Nails Defining the Niche
Background. Carbon-fiber-reinforced Polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) nails are gaining interest as they have biomechanical properties potentially capable of overcoming disadvantages of conventional metal nails. Case Summary. Three cases are illustrated which required superior mechanical toughness, co...
