Biomechanical Evaluation of a 6.5-mm Headless, Tapered Variable Pitch Screw (Acutrak Plus) in Equine and Synthetic Bone
Objectives To compare compression pressure (CP) of 6.5mm Acutrak Plus (AP) and 4.5mm AO cortical screws (AO) when placed in simulated lateral condylar fractures of variable thickness in cadaveric equine third metacarpal (MC3) bones, and to compare pullout force and strength of AP and AO screws when...
