An Experimental Study on Osteosynthesis with Intramedullary Nailing and Transverse Screwing
Year: 1980
Type: article
Abstract: The torsional Stability of the experimental fractures of the femur which were fixed with Küntscher nail, Küntscher nail and transverse screw, Cylinder nail, and Cylinder nail and transverse screw was tested. The degree of the torsion of these experimental model was measured with Kitasato torsional testing machine.The strongest model in this series was that fixed Cylinder nail and transverse screw.We conclude that Cylinder nailing and transverse screwing is best intramedullary nailing method.
