Magnesium versus titanium headless compression screws for fixation of a Hoffa-type fracture - a biomechanical in-vitro study

Abstract Background Intraarticular (e.g., Hoffa-type) fractures are usually stabilized with titanium screws, which may necessitate later implant removal. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical strength and stability of magnesium and titanium screws. Methods 18 double-layer bone block...
