Methods Sixteen 8 pairs 6 female 2 male cadaver scaphoids were randomly assigned to receive either the Acutrak 2 or Synthes screw with the contralateral scaphoid designated to receive the opposite. Guide wires were inserted under fluoroscopic control. Following transverse osteotomy the distal and proximal fragments were placed on either side of a custom load cell to measure interfragmentary compression. Screws were placed under fluoroscopic control using the manufacturer s recommended surgical technique. Compressive forces were measured during screw insertion. Recording continued for an additional 60s in order to measure any loss of compression after installation was complete. The peak and final interfragmentary compression were recorded and paired t-tests performed. Results The mean peak compression generated by the Acutrak 2 Standard was greater than that produced by the Synthes compression screw N vs. N respectively p . The mean final interfragmentary compression generated by the Acutrak 2 screw N was significantly greater p than the Synthes screw N . Specimens typically reached a steady state of compression by 120-150s after final tightening. Conclusion Peak interfragmentary compression observed during screw installation was similar for both screw systems. However the mean interfragmentary compression .
