Biomechanical comparison between pins - polymethylmethacrylate to the “String of Pearls” interlocking plate system (SOP) to stabilize canine lumbosacral fracture-luxation

Abstract

Biomechanical comparison of two internal spinal fixation techniques, applied to a surgically simulated complete spinal injury at L7-S1 was conducted. The study objective was to compare the stability provided by the two fixation techniques to the fracture-luxation.
