Forces required to dynamize sliding screws in gamma nail and selfdynamizable internal fixator

Abstract Background Single limb support phase of the gait-cycle in patients who are treated for a pertrochanteric fracture is characterized by transversal loads acting on the lag screw, tending to block its dynamization. If the simultaneous axial force overcomes transversal loads of the sliding scre...
