Half-threaded holes markedly increase the fatigue life of locking plates without compromising screw stability

AIMS: To determine whether half-threaded screw holes in a new titanium locking plate design can substantially decrease the notch effects of the threads and increase the plate fatigue life. METHODS: Three types (I to III) of titanium locking plates were fabricated to simulate plates used in the femur...
