Maximum Torque at the Time of Retrieval (MTR).
The MTR can be considered as representative of the quality of the anchorage of a cylindrical implant. We present preliminary investigations in the patients of our "External Fixation Clinic." The quality of the anchorage of the pins may decrease according to the duration of implantation. Appreciation of clinical loosening is valuable and can be used to roughly assess the quality of the anchorage.
