A novel auxetic structure based bone screw design: Tensile mechanical characterization and pullout fixation strength evaluation

It was supposed that auxetic structure with negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) expands under stretch and could enhance the screw-bone fixation. In this study, the novel auxetic structure based bone screws were designed, and mechanical properties and fixation strength were evaluated. Auxetic unit ce...
