Application of Far Cortical Locking Technology in Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Fixation: A Biomechanical Study

摘要

Background: Lack of fracture movement could be a potential cause of periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) fixation failures. This study aimed to test whether the use of distal far cortical locking screws reduces the overall stiffness of PFF fixations and allows an increase in fracture movement compared to standard locking screws while retaining the overall strength of the PFF fixations.
