7.3-mm cannulated-shaft screws show no difference in compression or load to failure compared to 7.0-mm variable-pitch screws for bovine capital physeal fracture repair
The present study supports the use of 7.3 TSSs and 7.0 VP screws to repair bovine capital physeal fractures. Further in vivo investigation to evaluate the impact of soft tissues and additional cycling is needed prior to implementing 7.0 VP screws in clinical cases.
