The mechanical performance of hybrid Ilizarov frames containing full threaded Schanz screws

Abstract

If the anatomic sites and clinical condition are unfeasible to apply a standard frame, completing the system with drop wires or Schanz screws is the most rational way to construct a circular Ilizarov frame. For this purpose; hybrid frame configurations consist of half pins or full threaded Schanz screws that were developed to overcome the mechanical drawback of the half pins, are widely used in our clinic. In this study, mechanical performance of such hybrid frames and standard system were compared. One standard with double rings on each bone fragment and five modified hybrid systems were loaded on a Material Testing Machine with axial compression, four point bending and torsion, and overall stiffness were tested. As a result, systems that were modified with full threaded Schanz screws showed a higher stiffness than half pin modifications and exhibit nearly the same mechanical performance of standard system.
