Prediction of screw loosening by measuring the insertion torque in non-osteoporotic patients: an in vitro study
The linear correlation of insertion torque and the bending force suggests an alternative prediction metric for screw loosening which could improve the outcome of surgeries and patients' safety. This is potentially a simple, intra-operative method, which can be used in future.
