Biomechanical analysis of four external fixation pin insertion techniques
Having multiple external fixation pin designs and insertion techniques has led to debate as to which combination creates the stiffest construct. This study sought to biomechanically evaluate construct strength using self-drilling (SD) and self-tapping (ST) pins inserted with either bicortical or uni...
