Management of distal humerus fractures with minifragment fixation.

abstract：:The ability of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) to reinforce cancellous screws placed in previously stripped holes was studied in vitro. The distal end of canine femurs were harvested. A total of 15 screws were placed in six femurs. The pullout strength (failure force), failure displacement, stiffness, and energy absorb...
