Experimental bone fixation
-
A new locking screw technology, named variable fixation, has been developed aiming at promoting bone callus formation providing initial rigid fixation followed by progressive fracture gap dynamisation.

Evaluation of firm fracture fixation of distal femoral locking compression plate and condylar buttress plate. Subjects and methods: Experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional and comparative study of firm fracture fixation of distal femoral locking compression plate and buttress condylar plate in treatment of femoral supracondylar fracture (type A2) and femoral intercondylar fracture (type C2).

Failure of locking plate fixation due to varus collapse is a common problem for the elderly population who have osteoporotic bone with comminuted fractures. However, it is possible to increase the stability and the stiffness of the fixation system by using intramedullary fibular graft. This study compares the effectiveness of the augmented versus non-augmented locking plate fixation under clinically relevant cyclic loading. Nine pairs of cadaveric humeri were utilized with one side fixated using the augmented system and the other using the non-augmented one.
