Manual of Cable Osteosyntheses : History, Technical Basis, Biomechanics of the Tension Band Principle, and Instructions for Operation /
In bone surgery it is essential to compress fractures interfragmentarily in order to make them resistant to the tensile force of muscles and the force resulting from acceleration and deceleration. This can be best achieved by the use of cable tension bands as a traction mechanism. The cable tension...
