Abstract
An attempt was made to biomechanically compare two allograft fixation techniques following mid-diaphyseal transection in cadaveric femurs. Specimens were torqued to failure in external rotation. Load-deformation curves were recorded for determination of torsional stiffness, maximum torque and rotation to failure with specimens visually inspected for fracture location and type. All comparisons indicate that the double plate fixation technique significantly increases the threshold to failure.
