Mechanical Comparison of Osteotomy Fixation Techniques by Vitória Silveira is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This in vitro study compared the mechanical characteristics of three fixation techniques for sagittal ramus osteotomies: 1) three 2.0mm bicortical positional screws, 2) eight 1.0mm monocortical screws and a sagittal strut plate, and 3) a hybrid system using three 2.0mm bicortical positional screws, five 2.0mm monocortical screws, and a sagittal strut plate. Testing of fixation on bovine ribs found that the monocortical strut plate had lower maximum load resistance and stiffness compared to the other techniq
