## Abstract The goals of this study were to develop a new intramedullary, rotation‐stable locking device and evaluate it biomechanically and in vivo for maintenance of a critical size osteotomy gap in a model of conscious pseudarthrosis. In standardized osteotomized rat femora (5 mm osteotomy gap)
## Abstract Bisphosphonate (BP) treatment used to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis has recently been implicated in an apparent increase in subtrochanteric femoral fractures. Previous work showed that BPs can reduce the energy to fracture of cancellous bone, but limited data exist on
## Abstract To evaluate a new gentamicin–vancomycin‐ impregnated (2:1) PMMA coating nail as a drug delivery device to treat bone and intramedullary infections, methicillin‐resistant __Staphylococcus aureus__ (MRSA) was used to induce femoral osteomyelitis in 20 New Zealand male rabbits. Four weeks
