Biomechanical testing of rectangular humeral shaft prosthesis: higher torsional stability without increased fracture risk

BACKGROUND: Rectangular cementless femur shaft prostheses have a higher primary stability than round shafts. A novel rectangular humeral shaft design was tested with two questions: does the rectangular design cause a higher fracture risk during implantation than round designs, and does it increase t...
