Outcomes & Evidence
Extension of Compression Beyond the Tips of the Legs of Nitinol Bone Fixation Implants
The purpose of this study was to determine if compression occurs beyond the tips of the legs of Nitinol implants, and if so, to establish the effective leg length (leg length plus extension of compression beyond the tips of the legs) of the implants tested.
Torsional Comparison of Two Nitinol Implants, Two Crossing Screws and a Four-Hole Compression Plate with a Lag Screw
We compare the compression, contact area, and rigidity of constructs utilizing two 4-leg straight Nitinol implants in parallel and 1 leading 4-hole locking compression plate with a headed lag screw.
Performance Comparison Between 4-Leg Nitinol Implants and 4-Hole Compression Implants
See the performance outcomes between our 4-Leg Nitinol BME Elite implants and 4-Hole compression implants.
