Effect of screw angulation on the bending performance of polyaxial locking interfaces: a micro-CT evaluation

Abstract Polyaxial locking plates rely on a specific thread-to-thread interface of the screw head and the plate hole. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical performance of single screw interfaces when inserted off-axis and to establish correlations between those parameters and th...
