At the Test Laboratory of CITO five modern devices for transosseous osteosynthesis were studied to evaluate the fixation stability in comminuted fractures. Firmness was defined in compression, twisting as well as frontal and sagittal bends. In all planes the highest level of fixation stability was found in RAPFIS device. Design peculiarity of that device provided the additional increase of fixation stability by roads insertion into bone fragments at an angle and diminution of the bonefixative distance (console) that almost 3 times improve the fixation stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
