Comparison of four different screw configurations for the fixation of Fulkerson osteotomy: a finite element analysis

Comparison of four different screw configurations for the fixation of Fulkerson osteotomy: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Conventionally, two 4.5 mm cortical screws inserted toward the posterior tibial cortex are usually advocated for the fixation of Fulkerson osteotomy. This finite element analysis aimed to compare the biomechanical behavior of four different screw configurations to fix the Fulkers...
