  • Title: Retention of the compression screw in sliding screw plate devices.
    Author: Cameron HU, Graham JD.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1980; (146):219-21. PubMed ID: 7371255.
    Abstract:
    Distraction forces at the site of an unstable intertrochanteric fracture can cause disengagement of the sliding hip screw from the barrel of the side plate. If such a device is used for unstable comminuted intertrochanteric fractures, the compression screw should be retained.
