Screw tightness and stripping rates vary between biomechanical researchers and practicing orthopaedic surgeons

Abstract Background Screws are the most frequently inserted orthopaedic implants. Biomechanical, laboratory-based studies are used to provide a controlled environment to investigate revolutionary and evolutionary improvements in orthopaedic techniques. Predominantly, biomechanical trained, non-surgi...
