Reinforced locking screws with enhanced head and neck junction: improving biomechanical stability in opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy applications
Reinforcing the head and neck junction of locking screws significantly improves their biomechanical performance. These findings suggest that structural modifications can reduce hardware failure risks in high-stress procedures such as OWHTO, enhancing implant durability and clinical outcomes.
