Abstract

AbstractThere is no consensus regarding the advantages of the lag screw type over the blade type for treating femoral trochanteric fractures. We aimed to investigate whether non-spiral blade (Conventional-Blade, Fid-Blade) nails provide better biomechanical fixation than lag screws in a severe osteoporotic bone model. Different severities of osteoporotic cancellous bone were modelled using polyurethane foam blocks of three densities (0.24, 0.16, and 0.08 g/cm3). Three torsional tests were performed using each component for each density of the polyurethane block, and the maximum torque was recorded; subsequently, the energy required to achieve 30° rotation was calculated. Using a push-in test, the maximum force was recorded, and the energy required to achieve 4-mm displacement was calculated. For 0.08-g/cm3 density, the peak torques to achieve 30° rotation, energy required to achieve 30° rotation, peak force to achieve 4-mm displacement, and energy required to achieve 4-mm displacement were significantly greater for Conventional-Blade and Fid-Blade than those for Lag Screw. The fixation stability of the blade-type Magnum nail component is better than that of the lag screw type under any test condition. The blade-type nail component may have better fixation stability than the lag screw type in a severe osteoporotic bone model.
