The effect of different screw-rod design on the anti-rotational torque: a biomechanical comparison of three conventional screw-rod constructs

Abstract Background Screw-rod constructs have been widely used to correct spinal deformities, but the effects of different screw-rod systems on anti-rotational torque have not been determined. This study aimed to analyze the biomechanical effect of different rod-screw constructs on anti-rotational t...
