Effect of different orientations of screw fixation for radial head fractures: a biomechanical comparison

Abstract Background Screw fixation is a common method used for the treatment of Mason type II radial head fractures. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of three different screw orientations used for fixation of Mason type II radial head fractures. Methods We sawed 24...
