Abstract
Based on the results, we conclude that the 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm titanium screw systems still present the highest torque strength compared with the biodegradable screw systems. When there is an intention to use biodegradable screws, we recommend the use of 2.0 mm BioSorb FX (Linvatec Biomaterials Ltd, Tampere, Finland), 2.0 mm LactoSorb (Walter Lorenz Surgical Inc, Jacksonville, FL), or the larger 2.5 mm Inion (Inion Ltd, Tampere, Finland) screws.
