Abstract
Pin-hole shear stresses generated by tapered (conical) and untapered ( standard) external fixator pins were compared using a photoelastic tec hnique. The results show that shear stresses progressively increase as a conical pin is inserted but remain the same for the standard pin ir respective of the depth of insertion.
