Abstract
The pin holding strengths of partially threaded and nonthreaded intramedullary pins were compared in an in vitro study. The mean percent holding strength of partially threaded pins to nonthreaded pins was 102%. No relationships could be determined when the holding strength of the pins was evaluated as a function of the dog's weight, bone length, and length of pin within the bone. It was concluded that no statistical difference in in vitro pin holding strength exists between the two types of pins.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
