Historically, fractures of the clavicle have been treated nonoperatively. However, it is becoming much more common for orthopedic surgeons to treat clavicle fractures with open reduction and internal fixation-particularly fractures of the lateral clavicle with high rates of nonunion, such as the Neer type II. Several techniques and devices are currently being used for clavicle fixation. We pres...

In this study, the effect of tool pin length on friction stir lap welding 430 and 304 stainless steels has been investigated. The thermal history interface was measured by thermocouple. interfacial macro- micro-structures under different lengths were analyzed via optical microscope scanning electron microscope. Also, tensile shear tests carried out to evaluate strength joint. results show that ...
