Biomechanical Analysis of Staples for Epiphysiodesis

Biomechanical Analysis of Staples for Epiphysiodesis

Limb asymmetry can, and often does, cause various health problems. Blount bone staples (clips) are used to correct such uneven growth. This article analyzes the performance of a biomechanical staple during bone (tibia) growth arrest. The staples considered in this study were made of 1.4441 stainless...
