The force required for push in (left) and pull out (right) for different interference fits in synthetic bone (N = 4 per point). With increasing interference, push‐in force increased, while pull‐out force increased before reaching a maximum. T, Tapered cylinder; S, Straight sided cylinder; Solid, Solid implant; Low E, 600 MPa porous implant; High E, 2.6 GPa porous implant; Barbed, Baseline version of barbed fixation implant with varying outer length.
