Mechanical comparison of application of locking intramedullary nail to locking compression plate in the ovine metatarsus

Abstract: Background: The metatarsal bone is commonly utilized in preclinical fracture models in sheep. A majority of studies achieve fracture stabilization with bone plating, but more recently intramedullary interlocking nails (IMN) have been utilized. The mechanical properties of this unique surgical technique utilizing an IMN has not yet been fully elucidated or compared to the traditional locking compression plating (LCP) technique.We hypothesize that a mid-diaphysis metatarsal critical-sized osteotomy stabilized wi… Show more

“…9 For the purposes of this focused review, the authors compare two of the most common fixation techniques for long bone fractures, intramedullary nailing, and locking plates. Biomechanical studies comparing IMN and locking plates vary in their determinations of superiority, 10 11 12 13 14 15 and fracture patterns must be considered when choosing a fixation method. 12…”

“…9 For the purposes of this focused review, the authors compare two of the most common fixation techniques for long bone fractures, intramedullary nailing, and locking plates. Biomechanical studies comparing IMN and locking plates vary in their determinations of superiority, [10][11][12][13][14][15] and fracture patterns must be considered when choosing a fixation method. 12 Mechanically, the IMN, with its central position along the longitudinal axis, resists bending forces, while the transfixing elements resist axial and torsional forces.…”

“…We read the article “ Mechanical comparison of application of locking intramedullary nail to locking compression plate in the ovine metatarsus ” with great interest ( 1 ). In an era of rapidly expanding interest in preclinical animal fracture modeling to test an array of prosthetic implant options, orthobiologic adjuncts, fracture fixation modalities, and treatments for nonunion- or infection-derived bony defects, selection of the optimal animal host and fracture site is imperative.…”
