Pin loosening in external skeletal fixation : a biomechanical and microstructural comparison of the near and far cortex pin-bone interfaces : a thesis /

ABSTRACT: This study compared the pin-bone interfaces at the near and far-cortical penetration sites within canine tibiae following low speed power insertion of positive-profile, end-threaded pins. A system was developed to allow the independent measurement of holding power of pins within each cor...
