Fracture Fixation and Implants

Progressive Loss of Implant Fixation in a Preclinical Rat Model of Cemented Knee Arthroplasty

This preclinical model could be used to study early biological response to cemented fixation.

Radiographically confirmed outcomes after fracture repair with a PLS polyaxial locking system in 40 dogs and cats

Ancillary fixation should be strongly considered.
