Abstract:OBJECTIVE
To compare heat generation and mechanical bone damage achieved with 2 tapered and 1 cylindrical transfixation pin taps in third metacarpal bones from equine cadavers.
SAMPLE
18 pairs (36 specimens) of third metacarpal bones from euthanized horses with no known metacarpal disease.
PROCEDURES
In each bone, an investigator drilled 3 holes for placement of a 6.3-mm cylindrical transfixation pin, a 6.3-mm tapered pin using a prototype tapered tap, and a 6.3-mm tapered pin using a revised tapered tap. … Show more
