Does thread shape affect the fixation strength of the bioabsorbable interference screws for anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions? A biomechanical study

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical behaviour of two bioabsorbable interference screws with different geometries. METHODS: Two different pitch (2.5 and 5 mm) bioabsorbable interference screws, both 9 × 30 mm, were tested. Tests were performed with forty bovine digi...
