Mechanical Effects of Lag Screw Retightening in a Simulated Hindfoot Arthrodesis Model

BACKGROUND: Nonunion following hindfoot arthrodesis may be caused by failure to maintain compression at the arthrodesis site. The ability of lag screws, commonly used in arthrodesis, to maintain compression in hindfoot bones has not been well characterized. The aim of this work was to quantify the s...
