Abstract
Cancellous bone screw extraction strengths are determined in four matched anatomical locations in five pairs of unembalmed human distal femora. The results are used to calculate sample size estimates for the experimental detection of differences in screw extraction mechanics. While unmatched designs require prohibitively large numbers of bone specimens, matched designs require between 71.6 and 88.5% fewer, depending on the correlation between matched observations and the homogeneity of sample variances.Entities:
