However, there is a lack of biomechanical data regarding the application of such screws to radial head fractures. This study evaluated the mechanical properties of the fixation of radial head fractures using a\u00a0single oblique HCS compared with those obtained using a standard locking radial head plate (LRHP) construct and a double cortical screw (DCS) construct. Radial synbone models were used for biomechanical tests of HCS, LRHP, and DCS constructs. All specimens were first cyclically loaded and then loaded to failure. The stiffness for the LRHP group was significantly higher than that for the other two groups, and that for the HCS group was significantly higher than that for the DCS group. The LRHP group had the greatest strength, followed by the HCS group and then the DCS group. The HCS construct demonstrated greater fixation strength than that of the commonly used cortical screws, although the plate group was the most stable. The present study revealed the feasibility of using a single oblique HCS, which has the advantages of being buried, requiring limited wound exposure, and having relatively easy operation, for treating simple radial head fractures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/bmt-2023-0107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,26]],"date-time":"2023-10-26T12:46:21Z","timestamp":1698324381000},"page":"193-198","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Biomechanical comparison of three fixation strategies for radial head fractures: a biomechanical study"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Yao-Tung","family":"Tsai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery , Tri-Service General Hospital and National Defense Medical Center , Taipei , Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2704-1828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kun-Jhih","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technology Translation Center for Medical Device, Chung Yuan Christian University , Taoyuan , Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jui-Cheng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics , Taipei Medical University Hospital , Taipei , Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024040516425448990_j_bmt-2023-0107_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Jackson, JD, Steinmann, SP.
