Comparison of two plates and screw osteosynthesis configurations in a rat model of critical sized femoral defects to reduce implant related failures

Abstract This study aimed to compare the failure rates of two different sizes of plates and screws to stabilize critical-sized (7 mm) femoral defects in male Sprague‒Dawley rats (aged 10 weeks). Femoral defects were stabilized with either a 4-hole plate (length 29 mm, thickness 1 mm, 10 rats, Group...
