Unicortical Versus Bicortical Proximal Locking Screw for Prevention of Peri-Implant Fracture: A Biomechanical Analysis of an Osteoporotic Distal Radius Model
There is no significant biomechanical advantage to unicortical over bicortical locking screws in the proximal hole of a distal radius plate to prevent diaphyseal peri-implant fractures in osteoporotic patients.
