- This study compares the biomechanical stability of screw osteosynthesis and plate osteosynthesis for coronoid process fractures using synthetic models.
- A total of 25 simulated fractures were tested with various screw and plate configurations under cyclic loading conditions.
- Results indicated that anterior screw fixation provided the most stability, while posterior screw fixation was the least effective for managing these fractures.
Background: Sonication is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). However, conditions and definition criteria for PJI vary among studies. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance (i.
