Comparative StudyAn in vitro biomechanical comparison of interlocking nail constructs and double plating for fixation of diaphyseal femur fractures in immature horses.
To compare the biomechanical properties of intact immature horse femurs and 3 stabilization methods in ostectomized femurs. ⋯ Double plating of diaphyseal comminuted femoral fractures in immature horses may be the best method of repair, because in general, it provides the greatest strength and stiffness in bending and torsion.
