Biomechanical comparison of various bone reduction forceps in interfragmentary compression and area of compression in an experimental model of canine lateral humeral condylar fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare contact area and interfragmentary compression generated by Vulsellum forceps, Patellar forceps, Kyon FineTouch forceps, point-to-point forceps with soft-locking mechanism, and point-to-point forceps with speed-locking mechanism in simulated lateral humeral condylar fractures in canine cadavers.

Study design

Ex-vivo biomechanical study.

Materials and methods

Seven cadaveric canine humeri with simulated lateral humeral condylar fractures were used in this study. A stress-sensitive film was placed at the fracture gap and five different bone reduction forceps were used to reduce the fractures to their maximum pressure before failure occurred. The compression and interfragmentary compression area were recorded during the entire compression interval and
