Abstract

Abstract : Summary: This study summarizes presentations of a symposium on biomechanically related hot topics of the 2015 Basic Science Focus Forum. Each topic emphasizes a biomechanical challenge common to all 4 of these presentations: an ideal fixation technique should deliver ample stability and sufficient flexibility to prevent fixation failure and to restore normal function.
