A biomechanical assessment of fixation methods for a coronoid prosthesis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The coronoid process is an integral component for maintaining elbow joint stability. When fixation of a fracture is not possible, prosthetic replacement may be a feasible solution for restoring stability. The purpose of this in-vitro biomechanical study was to compare fixation methods for a coronoid implant.
METHODS: A coronoid prosthesis was subjected to distally-directed tip loading after implantation using four fixation methods: …
