Objective: To determine the influence of screw configuration on the reduction and stabilization of simulated complete lateral condylar fracture.
Study Design: Randomized experimental crossover study.
Methods: A lateral condylar fracture was simulated in 18 cadaver limbs from nine horses.
Introduction: Equine condylar fractures are commonly repaired using cortex screws applied in lag fashion. Inadequate interfragmentary compression can lead to post-operative complications.
Methods: Lateral condylar fractures were simulated in 21 cadaver limbs (8 third metatarsals, 13 third metacarpals).
