All specimens were derived from Warmblood horses of\n                    various ages that were euthanized for non-orthopedic reasons. Of the 12 limbs collected, 3 left and 3 right distal limb specimens were randomly assigned to each\n                    system for implantation. Two abaxial 4.5-mm cortical screws were inserted transarticularly in all cases. Both systems were implanted according to the\n                    manufacturer\u2019s instructions with the plates placed centrally between the 2 transarticular screws. The ALPS-20 systems were implanted using Kyon B-6.4-mm\n                    monocortical locking screws in all positions. The LCP systems were implanted axially using 2 Synthes 5-mm locking screws in the proximal and distal positions,\n                    with a standard 4.5-mm cortical screw inserted in the middle position. All constructs underwent CT-scans after implantation and biomechanical testing to detect\n                    implant deformation. Uniaxial mechanical loading was applied via a servo-hydraulic test system at a test speed of 50 mm\/s, up to a maximum displacement of 80\n                    mm. The resulting load-displacement curves were used to calculate yield point, stiffness, and maximum force for each construct. The measured values were\n                    evaluated for statistical significance (p &lt; 0.05) between the 2 plate systems via one-factor ANOVA (Tukey test). The statistical power was verified for yield\n                    force, stiffness, and maximum load.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results No statistically significant differences between the 2 preparation groups were calculated across all of the measured parameters (p &gt; 0.05). The\n                    ALPS system implants showed no signs of deformation, either in the plates or the screws. In contrast, the LCP demonstrated visible deformation, which had\n                    already occurred at the time of implantation from the tightening of the middle screw, as well as during the subsequent testing of the implants. After\n                    biomechanical testing, deformations ranging between 3.1\u00b0 and 7.0\u00b0 were measured in 4 LCPs. A total implant failure was observed for 2 LCPs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion and clinical relevance Both systems demonstrated comparable mechanical properties in the present study\u2019s ex vivo test model for equine PIJ\n                    arthrodesis. As such, the Kyon ALPS-20 may be a good alternative to the Synthes LCP for equine PIJ arthrodesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1067-3819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]],"date-time":"2020-02-14T18:49:01Z","timestamp":1581706141000},"page":"25-34","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Arthrodesis of the equine proximal interphalangeal joint: a biomechanical comparison of 2 different LCP systems"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Vidovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Equine Clinic St. Georg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dorothea","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Equine Clinic St. Georg"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Schwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Goldstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Ludtka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tennessee Health Science Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Walter","family":"Brehm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Horses, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Leipzig"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]]},"container-title":["Tier\u00e4rztliche Praxis Ausgabe G: Gro\u00dftiere \/ Nutztiere"],"original-title":[],"language":"de","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-1067-3819.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]],"date-time":"2020-02-14T18:49:03Z","timestamp":1581706143000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-1067-3819"}},"subtitle":["Application of an axial locking compression plate and 2 abaxial transarticular cortical screws"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,14]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,2]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-1067-3819","relation":{},"ISSN":["1434-1220","2567-5834"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1434-1220","type":"print"},{"value":"2567-5834","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,2]]}}}
