Can barb thread design improve the pullout strength of bone screws?: a biomechanical study and finite element explanation
Aims: To draw a comparison of the pullout strengths of buttress thread, barb thread, and reverse buttress thread bone screws. Methods: Buttress thread, barb thread, and reverse buttress thread bone screws were inserted into synthetic cancellous bone blocks. Five screw-block constructs per group were...
