CYCLIC STABILITY OF LOCKING PLATE AUGMENTED WITH INTRAMEDULLARY POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE (PMMA) STRUT FIXATION FOR OSTEOPOROTIC HUMERAL FRACTURES: A BIOMECHANICAL STUDY

Cyclic Stability of Locking Plate Augmented with Intramedullary Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Strut Fixation for Osteoporotic Humeral Fractures: A Biomechanical Study

The locking plate may provide improved fixation in osteoporotic bone; however, it has been reported to fail due to varus collapse or screw perforation of the articular surface, especially in osteoporotic bone with medial cortex comminution.Using bone graft as an intramedullary strut together with plate fixation may result in a stronger construct.Ho
