| Abstract | Background Intraarticular (e.g., Hoffa-type) fractures are usually stabilized with titanium screws, which may necessitate later implant removal. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical strength and stability of magnesium and titanium screws. Methods 18 double-layer bone blocks were fixed with 18 one-layer bone blocks and divided into 2 groups based on the fixation method: magnesium screw fixation (Magnesium group, n = 9) and traditional titanium screw (Titanium group, n = 9). Compressive force was applied to the specimens orthogonally to the screw axis. First, axial stiffness was measured, and a cyclic loading test was performed, after 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000 cycles respectively, and the axial displacements were recorded. Finally, the specimens were loaded to failure. Results There were significant differences between the groups with respect to axial stiffness and cyclic loading. The ultimate failure load was comparable. The average axial stiffness for the magnesium group was 326 ± 67 N/mm and for the titanium group 266 ± 72 N/mm (p = 0.031). The axial displacement relative to 100 N preload after 10,000 cycles in the magnesium group was 1.7319 ± 0.2261 mm and in the titanium group 2.6932 ± 0.5921 mm (p < 0.001). The average ultimate failure in the magnesium group was 920 ± 55 N and in the titanium group 944 ± 40 N (p = 0.293). Conclusions Based on the results magnesium screws show at least a comparable strength and stability as titanium screws in this setting. This study provides support from a biomechanical perspective for the use of magnesium screws in Hoffa fractures. Clinical trial number Not applicable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
