A novel implant design (Pinloc) has been developed by Swemac Innovation AB. While the original implant consisted of 2 isolated hook pins, the modified design consists of 3 titanium hook pins interlocked in an aluminum plate. Interlocking is a new principle of implant design and improves fixation and load transfer amongst the pins. The superiority of the modified design is so far only proven preclinically. The role of the Pinloc in clinical use remains unclear.
