disadvantage of the fusion vs plasty is the - Correct Answer
✅ fusion has less hallux propulsion and it can shorten which
can then lead to contracture of the ehl or fhl

cancellous vs cortical screws - Correct Answer ✅
Cannulated cancellous screws are used for metaphyseal
fractures while cannulated and noncannulated cortical screws
are used as lag screws for fixation of diaphyseal fractures.
The main advantage of cannulated screws is that they can
be inserted over a guide wire or guide pin. The diameter of
the guide pin is much smaller than the cannulated screw
Cannulated screws have a hollow central shaft. Both cortical
and cancellous screws can be cannulated.
