Biomechanical Evaluation of Locking Compression Plate/Rod Constructs and Limited Contact-Dynamic Compression Plate/Rod Constructs in a Gap Model

Maxwell, Wilburn Maret 12 May 2012 (has links)
Fractures occur commonly in veterinary medicine and are usually the result of vehicular trauma. Traditionally, comminuted mid-diaphyseal fractures are repaired with an interlocking nail, dynamic compression plate, or combination of a bone plate with an intramedullary pin. In recent years, the locking compression plate has gained popularity in human orthopedics due to its biomechanical characteristics and stability in osteoporotic or periprosthetic bone. In addition, the plate may be applied in a percutaneous manner, thereby allowing for biological osteosynthesis. This study evaluates the combination of a locking compression plate and an intramedullary pin in a Delrin rod gap model. Modalities tested include axial load to failure, torsion, and cyclic loading.
